The ATOM series of Ku and Ka-band BUCs and Solid State Power Amplifiers (SSPAs) are small, light, and extremely powerful. With industry best size, weight, power and efficiency, ATOM series BUCs are easily integrated into a variety of systems, making them ideal for applications such as: COTM/COTP, Portable VSAT, CDL, Airborne, RADAR and TWTA replacement.

Main features include:
• Up to 85% smaller than equivalent BUCs
• Lightest available weight, at up to 90% less than competing products
• Ultra efficient, consuming up to 60% less power than similar units
• Ideal for applications such as Airborne, Comms on the Move, TWTA Replacement

Norsat offers BUC or SSPA customization to meet the specific environmental, EMC/EMI, RF and mechanical requirements required for the application.
