The GANSAT-200WKU delivers +53.2 dBm of Ku-Band RF output for teleport hubs, DTH broadcast uplink stations, and large VSAT hubs, providing high link margin for demanding applications. Its 220V AC GaN solid-state design operates reliably from -40°C to +55°C in harsh outdoor environments.
At 200W output, GaN technology achieves this performance with only 1170W of AC input — a significant efficiency advantage over legacy TWTA designs.
A 200W Ku-Band GaN SSPA is used for high-throughput satellite uplink including teleport hubs, DTH broadcast uplink stations, large VSAT hubs, and government or defense communications. Higher power enables greater link margin and supports smaller receive antennas.
At 200W output, GaN technology enables the GANSAT-200WKU to achieve +53.2 dBm with only 1170W of AC input — a significant efficiency advantage over legacy TWTA designs. GaN devices also operate reliably across -40°C to +55°C without RF performance degradation.
The Standard KU version covers 13.75–14.50 GHz; the Extended KU version covers 13.75–14.75 GHz. The extended range enables access to the full Ku uplink band allocation, which is particularly important for operators serving multiple satellite fleet positions.
Yes. The GANSAT-200WKU's wide operating temperature range (-40°C to +55°C) and solid-state reliability make it suitable for COTS defense and government satellite communications where long-term availability and serviceability are critical.
