About the CONVERTER
The RGUC–A is a compact, high-efficiency Ka-Band Block Up-Converter delivering 20W of output power. Designed for satellite uplinks, it offers reliable performance, low phase noise, and robust thermal management. Typical VSAT applications include maritime, 5G backhaul, SNG vehicles, and fixed, portable, or transportable terminals.
Reliability
• Highly integrated RF technologies (RFIC and GaN)
• Designed for high volume production
• Linearity optimized for high order modulation and high data rate
• Strict quality control processes resulting in <0.25% field failure rates
Product Features
• Variable power consumption 150 W (@43dBm)
125 W (@40dBm)
• Software selectable sub-band (single-,dual- and tri- band options)
• Compact and light weight (8.8 lbs / 4.0 kg)
• Low phase noise (exceeds IESS308/309)
• Rugged design for extreme environments (-40 to +60o C)
• M&C with real-time clock, event log, web interface, SNMP, and O-BMIP
