Product details

The Norsat ELMTBKA004I-CF is an ELEMENT 4W Ka-Band BUC from Norsat's ELEMENT line. It upconverts an L-band IF of 950–1700 MHz to 29.25–30.00 GHz using a 28.3 GHz local oscillator, delivering 4W rated output (36 dBm minimum P1dB and 36.5 dBm minimum Psat).

This configuration: Input connector: F-type (75 Ω); Waveguide isolator: With isolator; Temperature range: Standard range. It runs on +15 to +30 VDC, drawing 60W max.
