Product details
The Norsat ATOMBKA050C1CP is an ATOM 50W Ka-Band BUC from Norsat's ATOM line. It upconverts an L-band IF of 950–1950 MHz to 29.00–30.00 GHz using a 28.05 GHz local oscillator, delivering 50W rated output (47 dBm minimum Psat and 44 dBm minimum linear power).
This configuration: Cooling + M&C: Internal Fan + RS-485 & RS-232; Add-ons: Surge Protection. It runs on +20 to +56 VDC, drawing 580W max at saturation.
