TerraSat IBUC 2G Ka-Band

The TerraSat IBUC 2G Ka-Band Series is a high-performance Intelligent Block Upconverter (BUC) designed for Ka-band satellite communication systems requiring superior RF performance, reliability, and compact form factors. Integrating a high-efficiency GaN Solid-State Power Amplifier (SSPA) with TerraSat’s intelligent monitor and control platform, the IBUC 2G delivers exceptional linearity, low power consumption, and outstanding multicarrier performance for enterprise, government, defense, mobility, broadcast, and teleport applications. Available in output power levels from 5W to 50W, the series supports multiple Ka-band frequency plans and is optimized for both fixed and mobile satellite terminals. Its rugged weatherproof enclosure, advanced remote management capabilities, and optional Cyber Hardened security features make it an ideal solution for mission-critical satellite communication networks. Key Features Available in 5W, 10W, 16W, 20W, 25W, 40W and 50W models High-efficiency GaN amplifier technology Optimized for multicarrier Ka-Band applications Compact outdoor weatherproof enclosure Superior RF linearity and low phase noise Embedded Web Interface with HTTP, Telnet and SNMP Performance trend analysis and statistical logging More than 70 configurable alarms and thresholds Ethernet, RS-232/485 and FSK monitor & control Optional Cyber Hardened security platform Optional internal 10 MHz reference with auto-detection Available in AC or DC powered versions Backed by a 3-Year Manufacturer Warranty Product Specifications Model RF Frequency Output Power Small Signal Gain Power Supply Dimensions (L × W × H) Weight IBUC 2G Ka-Band 5W 29.0–30.0 / 29.5–30.0 / 30.0–31.0 GHz 5W (+37 dBm) 68 dB AC or DC 10.5 × 6 × 3.8 in (DC)10.5 × 6 × 4.2 in (AC) 9.5 lbs (DC)10.5 lbs (AC) IBUC 2G Ka-Band 10W Same Frequency Options 10W (+40 dBm) 71 dB AC or DC 10.5 × 6 × 3.8 in (DC)10.5 × 6 × 4.2 in (AC) 9.5 lbs (DC)10.5 lbs (AC) IBUC 2G Ka-Band 16W Same Frequency Options 16W (+42 dBm) 73 dB AC or DC 10.5 × 6 × 5.7 in (DC)10.5 × 6 × 6.1 in (AC) 11.5 lbs (DC)12.8 lbs (AC) IBUC 2G Ka-Band 20W Same Frequency Options 20W (+43 dBm) 74 dB AC or DC 10.5 × 6 × 5.7 in (DC)10.5 × 6 × 6.1 in (AC) 11.5 lbs (DC)12.8 lbs (AC) IBUC 2G Ka-Band 25W Same Frequency Options 25W (+44 dBm) 75 dB AC or DC 10.5 × 6 × 5.7 in (DC)10.5 × 6 × 6.1 in (AC) 11.5 lbs (DC)12.8 lbs (AC) IBUC 2G Ka-Band 40W Same Frequency Options 40W (+46 dBm) 77 dB AC or DC 10.5 × 6 × 5.7 in (DC)10.5 × 6 × 6.1 in (AC) 11.5 lbs (DC)12.8 lbs (AC) IBUC 2G Ka-Band 50W Same Frequency Options 50W (+47 dBm) 78 dB AC or DC 10.5 × 6 × 5.7 in (DC)10.5 × 6 × 6.1 in (AC) 11.5 lbs (DC)12.8 lbs (AC) General Specifications Specification Details RF Frequency Options 29.0–30.0 GHz, 29.5–30.0 GHz, 30.0–31.0 GHz IF Frequency 1.0–2.0 GHz or 950–1950 MHz (Model Dependent) Technology GaN Solid-State Power Amplifier (SSPA) Input Connector Type-N Female (50 Ω) Optional Input Connectors Type-F (75 Ω), TNC (50 Ω) RF Output Interface WR28 UG Cover with Groove Small Signal Gain 68–78 dB (Standard Version) Attenuator 30 dB Variable in 0.1 dB Steps AGC User Selectable ALC User Selectable Output VSWR 1.3:1 Maximum Output Noise Density Tx < -74 dBm/Hz Monitor & Control HTTP, Telnet, SNMPv2c, RS232/485, FSK Cyber Security Option HTTPS, SSHv2, SNMPv3, FIPS 140-2 Compatible Operating Temperature -40°C to +60°C (5W–10W)-40°C to +55°C (16W–50W) Humidity 100% Condensing Maximum Altitude 10,000 ft (3,000 m) Warranty 3 Years Typical Applications High Throughput Satellite (HTS) Networks Enterprise VSAT Systems Mobile & Transportable Satellite Terminals Teleport Infrastructure Broadcast Contribution Networks Maritime Connectivity Cellular Backhaul Emergency Response Communications Remote Broadband Services Available from VSATplus, the TerraSat IBUC 2G Ka-Band Series delivers outstanding RF performance, intelligent remote management, and long-term reliability for professional satellite communication deployments.
