Product details

The Norsat ELMTBKA016-MF-IFL is an ELEMENT 16W Ka-Band BUC from Norsat's ELEMENT line. It upconverts an L-band IF of 950–1950 MHz to 30.00–31.00 GHz using a 29.05 GHz local oscillator, delivering 16W rated output (42 dBm minimum P1dB and 42 dBm minimum Psat).

This configuration: Input connector: F-type (75 Ω); Power input: Power Over IF. It runs on +28 to +72 VDC, drawing 140W max.
