Teledyne Paradise announces innovative new SSPA: Dual band SSPA that offers lower cost, higher reliability for satellite command & control
Teledyne Paradise Datacom (Paradise), part of the Teledyne Defense Electronics Group, today announced the wide availability of a new, leading edge L- and S-Dual Band solid state power amplifier (SSPA) for today’s evolving satellite command systems.
