Terrasat iBUC R Ku-Band

Terrasat IBUC R Ku-Band 60W GaAs BUC

60W Mid-High Power Ku-Band Intelligent Block Upconverter for Multi-Carrier Uplinks

The Terrasat IBUC R 60W Ku-Band is a mid-to-high power intelligent block upconverter (BUC) designed for demanding multi-carrier satellite uplinks. Built using GaAs SSPA technology, the IBUC R delivers strong linear performance, excellent gain, and stable output for telecom, broadcast, maritime, and defense SATCOM systems.

Available in both AC and DC powered versions, the IBUC R 60W is ideal for higher power Ku-band terminals requiring robust performance and advanced monitoring capabilities.

Esatcom Inc. supplies factory-configured Terrasat IBUC R 60W units tailored to your RF frequency plan and system configuration.
