Comtech 40W Ku-band (27.5-28.5 Ghz) GaN Airborne Cabin Internal Solid-State Amplifier

Comtech 40W Ku-band (27.5-28.5 Ghz) GaN Airborne Cabin Internal Solid-State Amplifier
  • Lightweight, efficient reliable Ku-band SSPA andтblock upconverter that provides 50W of linear power for satcom uplinks.
  • High efficiency GaN solid-state design enables big power from a box while still handling the toughest environments.
  • If you need a sleek, powerful BUC to speedup your compact terminal - you need a Falcon.
