Amkom AMKU16 16W Ext. Ku-Band BUC

The “MINI BRICK” series Extended (13.75 – 14.5GHz) Ku-Band BUCs are the next generation of the World’s Smallest feed-horn & boom-arm mountable BUCs in the industry, weighing-in only at 3.1lbs (1.4kg) and handling output power of 16W PSAT (min) at the Extended Ku-Band frequencies. We’ve picked the best of both worlds as we implemented the most mature, proven efficient and reliable GaAs + GaN High Power Amplifiers with internal overdrive protection. We’ve chosen an absolute and “No Corner Cutting” concept in our design. Its weatherproof and robust Hyper-Light package is constructed with the most advanced mechanical precision engineering in mind. We’ve taken absolutely no compromises during each of the design stages using only the toughest aerospace grade aluminum based metal with the most efficient heat disposal properties. Each unit is vigorously tested at our California facility according to our ATP (Acceptance Testing Procedure).
