The GANSAT-100WKU delivers 100W of Ku-Band RF power with GaN technology for fixed and mobile satellite communication infrastructure. Weighing 12.75 kg and powered from 220V/110V AC mains, it is suited for VSAT hubs, coastal stations, and air-to-ground communication systems.

With low phase noise and IMD performance, the GANSAT-100WKU is well suited to commercial Ku-Band satellite uplink applications. Standard KU (13.75–14.50 GHz) and Extended KU (13.75–14.75 GHz) versions are available to match regional satellite access requirements.

Frequently Asked Questions

A 100W Ku-Band BUC is used for VSAT hub stations, coastal communication systems, air-to-ground links, and fixed broadband satellite uplink applications. It combines high EIRP capability with a compact form factor for commercial satellite communications.

GaN transistors provide higher power density, better thermal management, and lower power consumption compared to GaAs or LDMOS designs at the same power class. This allows the GANSAT-100WKU to deliver 100W output at 12.75 kg while maintaining long-term reliability.

The Standard KU version (GANSAT-100WKU) covers 13.75–14.50 GHz, while the Extended KU version (GANSAT-100WEXTKU) extends to 13.75–14.75 GHz. The Extended KU band supports additional transponder capacity used by some satellite operators for regional coverage.
