Terrasat 500W iBUC, G-series GaN, outdoor, Standard C-band (5.850-6.425GHz)
Terrasat 500W iBUC, G-series GaN, outdoor, Standard C-band (5.850-6.425GHz)
The Terrasat 500W iBUC G-Series, GaN, outdoor, Standard C-band (5.85 – 6.425 GHz), IF 950 to 1,850 Mhz, Complies with EN 301 443 and MIL-STD 188-164B, RF Output Interface CPR-137G. The new iBUC G-Series supports multicarrier transmissions across the full C-band spectrum. The iBUC delivers the highest available output power, making it an ideal solution for high data rate multicarrier applications such as maritime, broadband, broadcast and network Hubs. The 500W model produces +54 dBm of linear output power
The Terrasat revolutionary iBUC G-Series offers significant benefits:
- Low Terminal Cost
- Simple design and installation
- Simplified 1+1 configuration as an option
- Superior RF-performance
The IBUC comes with a complete set of diagnostic tools including:
- 10MHz input detector
- Input voltage and current monitoring
- Transmit L-band input level detector
- Transmit RF-output level detector
- User configurable thresholds and alarms
GaN or GaAs
Gallium Nitride (GaN) technology has more recently been deployed as devices have become available in frequency bands used in Satcom. The key advantage of GaN is its high RF density. That is, the device delivers greater amplification in a smaller package. This enables us to develop IBUCs with higher output power in a smaller enclosure. As a result, GaN-based IBUC G-Series are avaible alternative to TWTA’s. And the smaller profile IBUC 2G-Series model yields an advantage in many applications such as mobility. The power transfer curve of a GaN amplifier is not linear like that of a GaAs device. Therefore, Terrasat has taken care in product design to compensate for the non-linearity. Although GaN amplifiers are rated at PSat, the important figure for comparison is the amount of output power required to achieve linear power. Terrasat IBUC G-Series and IBUC 2G-Series models are carefully designed for minimal back off, which translates into more usable power for your investment.
We have six 500W Terrasat iBUC’s available, 4 used and 2 shelf spares that were never installed in the field. Please feel free to inquire!
