Norsat International, a provider of unique and customized communication solutions for remote and challenging applications, has announced the ATOM 250 Watt Ku-band Block Upconverters (BUC) and Solid State Power Amplifiers (SSPAs).
The ATOM 250 Watt Ku-Dual band BUC provides 250 W of saturated power (200W @ P1dB) in one of the most compact sizes in the market. Covering transmit frequencies from 12.25 to 18 GHz, including CDL-Band and Low KU Band, the ATOM 250W SSPAs and BUCs can be configured to suit operation on any Ku Band satellite. Ethernet, redundancy configurations, EMI/EMC, and other custom options are available upon request.
The ATOM series are up to 85% smaller, 90% lighter, and 60% more energy efficient than alternatives, enabling a wide range of applications including TWTA replacement, Satellite News Gathering, transportable VSAT, Satcom on the Move, and Radar. The ATOM 250W also includes ATOMControl, the same Management and Control software that powers the full ATOM Ku and Ka family of products.
Norsat has shipped the first ATOM 250W BUC to our initial customer for integration into a radar transceiver application and is accepting new orders now.
The Ku and Ka ATOM series of BUCs and SSPAs can be seen at the Satellite 2016 show in National Harbor from March 8th to March 10th.
