Description
The Amkom AFKU20 20W Fanless Ku-Band BUC supports Extended Ku Band 13.75 – 14.5GHz and standard Ku Band (14.5-14GHz) operations with upto 20W of output power. The Amkom AFKU20 20W Fanless Ku-Band BUC Ku-Band BUCs is the next generation of Amkom’s feed-horn & boom-arm mountable BUCs, weighing-in only at 1.4kg and working at high temperatures up to 60°C. The Amkom AFKU20 20W Fanless Ku-Band BUC utilises superior design to provide passive cooling with an active fan for forced air cooling, a common point of failure.
Amkom has chosen the best of both worlds to implement the most mature, proven efficient and reliable GaAs + GaN High Power Amplifiers with internal overdrive protection and precise linearization technique. Amkom’s BUCs weatherproof and robust Hyper-Light package is constructed with the most advanced mechanical precision engineering in mind. Amkom use only the toughest aerospace grade aluminium based metal with the most efficient heat disposal properties. Each BUC is vigorously tested at Amkom’s California facility against a rigorous acceptance testing procedure (ATP).
