StellarMini(TM) is the latest high power TWT satellite uplinkamplifier to join e2v's range. Weighing only 8kg and with dimensionsof only 5.2"(H) x 13.7"(L) x 7.22"(W), StellarMini(TM) is the smallestand lightest Ku-band TWT high power amplifier available on the markettoday. StellarMini(TM) is also smaller, lighter and more powerful thanmany equivalent solid state amplifiers. £ The weatherproof, rugged design, alongside advanced coolingsolutions, enables StellarMini(TM) to operate in extreme weatherconditions from direct rain to direct sunlight, with high reliabilityin temperatures ranging from -40 to +60 degC (-40 to +140 degF), theamplifier is also fully RoHS compliant. £ The StellarMini(TM) amplifier will be available in 180W Ku-bandinitially with further power options of 150W and 110W Ku-bandavailable soon after. £ This little amplifier may be small but it still packs a powerfulpunch. £ Visit e2v at Satcon, booth 542 to see the StellarMini(TM) first. £ NOTES FOR EDITORS £ e2v technologies plc £ e2v technologies is a leading designer, developer and manufacturerof specialised components and subsystems, falling within two productgroups: £ -- Electronic tubes £ -- Sensors and Semiconductors £ These products enable some of the world's leading OEMs to deliverinnovative systems for medical and science, aerospace and defence, andcommercial and industrial applications. £ For the year ended 31 March 2007, e2v achieved sales of GBP 173.9mand is listed on the London Stock Exchange (e2v.l).
