SpaceBridge SBTR003UL 3W Lower Ku-Band Outdoor VSAT Transceiver

SpaceBridge SBTR003UL 3W Lower Ku-Band Outdoor VSAT Transceiver

The SpaceBridge SBTR003UL is a compact lower Ku-band outdoor VSAT transceiver combining transmit and receive functions with an integrated feed horn and OMT. It transmits at 12.75–13.25 GHz and receives at 10.70–11.70 GHz, providing a complete RF outdoor unit for commercial satellite communications. Linear orthogonal polarization, an external 10 MHz transmit reference and IP67 protection support reliable outdoor operation.
