March 22, 2021-- Comtech Telecommunications Corp. (NASDAQ: CMTL)
announced today, that during its third quarter of fiscal 2021, its
subsidiary, Comtech Xicom Technology, Inc., a world leader in
high-power amplifiers, received a contract valued at more than $1.0
million for X-band SSPA/BUCs for transportable military satellite
communications (“satcom”) ground systems.
X-band is set aside for government satellite service, primarily
military applications that require low interference, low rain-fade,
and small terminal size, even if data rates are limited. One of the
major challenges of X-band is that, unlike other satcom bands, the
receive band is adjacent to the transmit band, making it critical
that any RF leakage be extremely low to avoid interfering with the
receive signal. Xicom’s X-band amplifiers and BUCs are optimized
for this challenging low leakage requirement as well as being high
in power density, highly efficient and compact. They are ideal for
fixed, transportable, manpack, and mobile military
applications.
“Comtech is the industry leader in X-band SSPAs and BUCs. We
have invested heavily to build out a comprehensive X-band product
line to support military fixed and transportable terminals with the
most challenging performance and environmental requirements,” said
Fred Kornberg, Chairman of the Board and Chief Executive Officer of
Comtech Telecommunications Corp. "Our end-customer remains pleased
with the outstanding technical performance and reliability of these
Comtech BUCs, and we are proud of our track-record on this critical
military program.”
Comtech Xicom Technology, Inc., a world leader in high-power
amplifiers, manufactures a wide variety of tube-based and
solid-state power amplifiers for military and commercial satellite
uplink applications. The product range encompasses power levels
from 8 W to 3 kW, with frequency coverage in sub-bands within the 2
