Product details

The Norsat ATOMBKU040E1IP is an ATOM 40W 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 40W rated output (47 dBm minimum Psat).

This configuration: Cooling: Internal Fan; Add-ons: Internal Reference + Surge Protection. It runs on +18 to +56 VDC, drawing 305W max at saturation.
