Description
The Amkom APKU80 80W Ku Band BUC series supports Extended (13.75 – 14.5GHz) and Standard (14.0 – 14.5GHz) frequency operations. The Amkom APKU80 80W Ku Band BUC is the next generation of Amkoms efficient and compact Ku Band BUCs, weighing only 4.2kg and handling output power of 80W (min).
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).
