GaAs Based Product
2W Ext. Mini Ku-Band Block Up Converter
KEY FEATURES ABA2KX / ABA2KXF
Output frequency 13.75-14.50 GHz
L.O. 12.80 GHz
Based on GaAs technology which enables high
efficiency, low power consumption and high reliability
Industry’s lowest power consumption (14W max.)
Smallest package size and weight
Powered through IF cable
High power efficiency (2W min.)
RoHS compliant This smallest and lightest 2W L-To Ku-Band
Block Up Converter is based on GaAs technology
and is designed to be mounted directly on the
feed horn. High power efficiency resulting in
low current (<1 amps) consumption allows user
to pass DC supply voltage via IF cable. The
unit is ideal for network and point to point, data
distribution, portable and emergency applications.
