The RGUC–U is a high-performance Ku-Band Block Up-Converter delivering 40W of output power. Designed for satellite uplink applications, it offers compact form factor, efficient thermal management, and reliable performance in demanding environments. 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 250W (@46dBm) 200W (@45dBm)
• Equipment redundancy port and logic integrated
• Low phase noise (exceeds IESS308/309)
• Rugged design for extreme environments (-40 to +65o C)
