Paradise Datacom GAN vBUC Ku-Band VSAT Block Upconverter
Ku-Band power output of up to 40 Watts
GAN vBUC Ku-Band VSAT Block Upconverter
The next generation of High Power Density Block Up Converters has been unveiled at Teledyne Paradise Datacom. Powered by GaN technology, these converters are the most efficient in the Satcom Industry. GaN devices pack a high output power capability within a compact physical volume.
Thermal Efficiency
GaN devices make ideal power amplifiers at microwave frequencies because they can operate at much higher temperatures and work at much higher voltages than GaAs devices.
RF Performance
GaN devices also offer higher power efficiency and greater linear power capability. A wide range of monitor and control is standard and includes Legacy FSK protocol, Standard Paradise Datacom RS-485 and Ethernet support via UDP, SNMP, and an Internal Web Browser.
Complete Redundancy
The vBUC is available in 1:1 redundant configurations, 1:2 redundant configurations with the addition of a RCP2-1200 Redundant System Controller. Chain 1:1 redundancy is available with the use of a RCPD-1100 Dual Redundant Controller.
