Norsat BUC-ATOMKU025-E Extended Ku-Band 25W BUC Block Up Converter ATOM Series
Summary
Norsat microwave products are renowned for their high quality, excellent reliability, and innovation. The ATOM series of block upconverters (BUC) are the smallest, lightest, and most energy efficient transmitters available today.
ATOM series BUCs have been deployed globally for new and replacement applications that demand high performance transmission with a compact footprint. The high efficiency of ATOM reduces power consumption significantly, delivering considerable operational cost savings over the lifetime of the device. Another innovative communication solution from Norsat.
Stock units are available in standard and extended Ku-Band frequencies. Special order units are available in a wide variety of additional frequencies from 10.38 – 10.55 GHz up to 17.7 - 18.1 GHz.
Transmit Frequency: Extended band 13.75 to 14.5 GHz
Input Frequency: Extended band 950 to 1700 MHz
