High-efficiency gallium nitride technology
low power consumption, low spurious emissions, and ultra-low phase noise
Product photos Built-in over-temperature and over-current protection
Monitoring function; automatic frequency switching function
Product type: Block Upconverter (BUC)
Frequency band: Ka-band (typically 27.5–31 GHz for uplink; check specific model range)
Output power: 100 watts (50 dBm)
Application: VSAT, satellite uplink for high-throughput satellites (HTS), maritime, aero, enterprise, oil & gas, and military terminals
Mounting: Radome-capable outdoor unit (ODU) for antenna feed or integrated with antenna assemblies
High RF Output: 100 W continuous wave (CW) ensures robust uplink margin for high-data-rate services and adverse link conditions.
Low Phase Noise: Optimized PLL and VCO design to meet strict carrier stability requirements for advanced modulation schemes (e.g., 8PSK, 16APSK, 32APSK, QPSK with high symbol rates).
High Linearization: Built-in linearizer and wide dynamic range for efficient operation with higher-order modulation, minimizing spectral regrowth.
Wide IF Input: Supports standard IF input range (typically 950–1450 MHz) for Ku/Ka IF interfacing; some models support 5–512 MHz IF for direct-conversion architectures—verify model spec.
Integrated Frequency Reference: OCXO or optional GPS-disciplined reference for enhanced frequency stability; 10 MHz reference input/output included.
Redundancy & Monitoring: Remote management via SNMP, RS-232/RS-485, or Ethernet (web GUI/CLI). Alarm/status, SWR detection, temperature monitoring, and automatic power control.
Environmental Hardened: Ruggedized for outdoor operation with IP65/IP67 sealing, wide operating temperature (-40°C to +60°C typical), and shock/vibration tolerance for mobile platforms.
Efficiency & Cooling: Advanced LDMOS or GaN transistor architectures for improved RF efficiency; forced-air or conduction cooling designs depending on installation.
Safety & Protections: Over-temperature, over-voltage, VSWR protection, and automatic shutdown to protect the PA and system.
