The Ku-band SSPB 500 W Solid State Power BUC is a high-performance GaN-based outdoor transmitter designed for professional satellite uplinks, teleports, and broadcast applications. Operating in the 13.75–14.50 GHz Extended Ku-band, it combines a solid-state power amplifier (SSPA) and block upconverter (BUC) into one rugged, weatherproof outdoor unit (ODU).

  LO: 13.05 GHz | IN: 950–1450 MHz | OUT: 13.75–14.50 GHz  

With a Psat of 57 dBm (500 W) and Plinear of 54 dBm, the amplifier delivers strong, stable, and linear output power for multi-carrier Ku-band links. The 80 dB nominal gain with fine 20 dB control in 0.1 dB steps ensures precise power management for broadcast and telecom operators. Exceptional phase noise (–93 @100 kHz, –103 @1 MHz, –113 @10 MHz) guarantees clean and distortion-free operation.

Encased in a durable aluminium enclosure (195 × 406 × 565 mm) and weighing 50 kg, the SSPB 500 W is engineered for continuous 24/7 operation. The forced-air cooling system ensures thermal stability under full-power loads from –40 °C to +55 °C, withstanding humidity up to 100%.

🛠️ Designed for demanding professional applications, the Ku-band SSPB 500 W delivers maximum power, high efficiency, and superior linearity. It is ideal for teleports, VSAT gateways, and broadcasters who require uncompromised signal performance.
