The Ku-band SSPB 200 W Solid State Power BUC is a professional-grade, high-efficiency outdoor transmitter built for satellite uplinks, VSAT hubs, and broadcast gateways.
Covering the 12.75–13.25 GHz Lower Ku-band, it integrates an SSPA and a block upconverter in one rugged outdoor unit (ODU) to provide clean, stable, and linear RF power.
LO: 11.80 GHz | IN: 950–1450 MHz | OUT: 12.75–13.25 GHz
Based on GaN solid-state technology, the amplifier delivers Psat 53 dBm (200 W) and Plinear 50 dBm, with 75 dB nominal gain and 20 dB fine control in 0.1 dB steps.
Ultra-low phase noise (–63 @100 Hz, –73 @1 kHz, –83 @10 kHz) ensures excellent signal purity for DVB-S2 and broadband satcom applications.
Encased in a rugged aluminium enclosure and featuring efficient forced-air cooling, the amplifier operates reliably from –40 °C to +55 °C and up to 100 % humidity.
Its compact form (139 × 298 × 489 mm, 26 kg) makes it ideal for hub-mount and rooftop installations where space and weight matter.
🛠️ The Ku-band SSPB 200 W combines power, linearity and efficiency in a single compact unit. It’s the perfect solution for VSAT, teleport and broadcast operators requiring continuous high-quality uplinks.
