These GaN based BUCs meet the most stringent military specifications. They are designed for the new WGS certified terminals and deliver more power per square inch than any other unit in the market.”

The design of the 50W GaN X-band BUCs is based on Advantech Wireless’s industry proven reliable solid-state high power amplifiers. These GaN BUCs are integrated units, completed with power supply, phase-locked oscillator, mixer, filter and cooling mechanism.
