Terrasat iBUC 2G Ku-band

Terrasat IBUC 2G Ku-Band GaN BUC (50W–80W)

High-Power Compact GaN Ku-Band Intelligent Block Upconverter for Multi-Carrier Applications

The Terrasat IBUC 2G Ku-Band is a high-power, compact GaN-based intelligent block upconverter engineered for demanding multi-carrier uplink applications. Available in 50W, 60W, and 80W output power levels, the IBUC 2G combines Gallium Nitride (GaN) amplifier technology with advanced monitoring capabilities in a rugged outdoor enclosure.

Designed for telecom, broadcast, government, defense, and mobility SATCOM systems, the IBUC 2G delivers strong linear performance, high efficiency, and flexible AC or DC power options (model dependent).

Esatcom Inc. supplies factory-configured IBUC 2G units tailored to your Ku-band frequency plan and system requirements.
