ALB128 20W Ku BUC
Agilis Satcom ALB128 20 Watt Ultra-Slim Ku-Band Block Upconverter (BUC) is an extremely compact outdoor transmitter for satellite communication systems. The ALB128 20W BUC has very high output power linearity and works well from -20ºC up to 50ºC. The BUC also has a wide input voltage range which allows it to work from 18V to 60V.
Compact
The ALB128 series of slim BUCs offer the highest power/weight ratio. At a mere 4.8Kgs this 20W BUC provides highly reliable performance over a wide temperature range. The rotary joint provides a multiplexed signal for Transmit at Ku-Band and Receive at L-Band frequency. Being highly linear, the BUC can be used in multi-carrier applications. The innovative thermal management techniques increase long term reliability.
Agilis Ku-Band BUC is a compact design that comprises of Upconverter, Solid State Power Amplifier, Phase Locked Oscillator and DC-DC power converter. It employs L-Band IF interface to the indoor unit. Agilis ALB128 Ku-Band BUC is an ideal design suitable for broadband applications (such as DVB-RCS) in satellite IP networks.
