EXTENDED TEMPERATURE RANGE
SUPER COMPACT 40W / 50W
KU-BAND GAN POWERED SSPA / BUC
The IRT Technologies powered by GaN technology PicoBUC series BUC / SSPA are revolutionary in size,
weight and power density designed to withstand extreme temperature range from -55 C to +70 C - PicoBUC
offers superior performance in an extremely compact package that can fit in your palm! Weighing at only
5.5lbs, our feature-rich GaN PicoBUC is exceptionally powerful for its size: up to 50W Psat. Built in AC power
supply provides the customer with the simplest and least expensive plug-into-the wall solution.IRT GaN
PicoBUC features best in class RF characteristics, embedded WG circulator, extensive monitor and control
capabilities enabled via Ethernet, Serial and/or Analog Interfaces. PicoBUC's remarkably small size and low
power consumption results in better heat extraction that leads to overall system size and cost reduction making
it the ideal candidate for portable, mobile and VSAT on the move applications. Its small size and weight allows
direct feed horn mounting, which makes it a most economical solution for fixed VSAT applications
