DESIGN OVERVIEW:
The low cost Ku-Band BUCs are above and beyond the next generation of the World’s Smallest feed-horn & boom-arm
mountable BUCs in the industry, weighing only 1lbs and handling output power up to 20W at the Ku-Band frequencies.
We’ve picked the most mature, reliable and proven to be highly efficient amplifiers with internal overdrive protection.
Each unit is vigorously tested at our California facility according to our ATP (Acceptance Testing Procedure).
