Agilis ALB12802E8 ALB128 Series 8W Ku-Band VSAT Outdoor Block-Up Converter N Input (BUC)
Summary |
ALB 128 Series Ku-Band BUC (Block-Up Converter) is a highly cost effective RF outdoor transmitter for satellite communication. The BUC has very high output power linearity and works well from -40ºC up to 60ºC. The BUC also has a wide input voltage range which allows it to work from 18V to 60V. Agilis Ku-Band BUC is designed for high reliability operation in various applications such as flyaway antenna. The BUC also has the most complete M&C features in the industry. Agilis Ku-Band BUC is a compact design that comprises of Upconverter, Solid State Power Amplifier, Phase Locked Oscillator and DC-DC power converter. It employs L-Band IF interface to the indoor unit. Agilis ALB128 Ku-Band BUC is an ideal design suitable for broadband applications (such as DVB-RCS) in satellite IP networks. |
