Product details

The Norsat ATOMBKU020E1P is an ATOM 20W Ku-Band BUC from Norsat's ATOM line. It upconverts an L-band IF of 950–1700 MHz to 13.75–14.50 GHz using a 12.80 GHz local oscillator, delivering 20W rated output (43 dBm minimum P1dB and 44 dBm minimum Psat).

This configuration: Cooling: Internal Fan; Add-ons: Surge Protection. It runs on +18 to +56 VDC, drawing 210W max at saturation.
