T-5000A 5kW MF/HF Transmitter

The Sunair T-5000A is the hallmark solution for mission-critical communications applications requiring hemispheric coverage.

The transmitter system combines solid-state RF power amplification and control technology to produce a failsafe high power solution, and operates in a frequency range of 1.5 MHz to 30 MHz.

Maximum power output is 5 kW to facilitate long-range hemispheric communications when coupled with the appropriate antenna.

Power is reducible in 1 dB steps down to the 500 W level. Standard operating voltage is 338 – 458 VAC, 50 or 60 Hz with a modest power requirement of ≤ 16 kVA.
The Sunair T-5000A is supplied as an integrated system consisting of the Sunair T-9000D Software-Defined HF SSB/ISB Transmitter, F-9800 Post-Selector, and the LPA-5000A 5 Kilowatt Power Amplifier.

The amplifier architecture consists of four IPA intermediate power amplifier subsystems that are combined to produce final power output and managed by the Sunair HPAC High Power Amplifier Controller.

The HPAC actively monitors system balance and performance, and provides power control and safety shutdown in the event of internal module or antenna failure.
Advanced built-in-test (BITE) capability reports the status of the unit down to the subsystem level on the HPAC, the T-9000D, and then to a remote site when configured.

The system’s intuitive modular design allows for ease of maintenance and upgrade throughout the equipment life cycle at minimal expense.

The T-5000A is available in standard dual-rack or special single-rack configurations.

These high-performing niche products are in daily service as integral components of critical strategic communications solutions for leading defense, peacekeeping,
and aviation agencies around the world.
