Terrasat IBUC R C-band

Terrasat IBUC R C-Band GaAs BUC (100W–400W)

Intelligent High-Power C-Band Block Upconverter for Multi-Carrier Uplinks

The Terrasat IBUC R C-Band is a high-performance intelligent block upconverter (BUC) designed for demanding multi-carrier satellite uplink applications. Available in output power levels from 100W to 400W, the IBUC-R combines GaAs SSPA technology, excellent linearity, and advanced monitoring & control in a rugged outdoor package.

Engineered for telecom, broadcast, defense, maritime, and government SATCOM systems, the IBUC-R delivers reliable high-power transmission with flexible frequency plans and configurable 10 MHz reference options.

Esatcom Inc. supplies fully configured Terrasat IBUC R units tailored to your frequency band, reference requirements, and power supply preference.
