While both XTS-50X-B1 DC-powered X-band amplifier (50 W) and XTS-40KHE-B1 DC-powered Ku-band amplifier (40 W) offer 47 dBm output power, respective linear power values are 45 and 43 dBm. Both military satellite communication (MIL-SATCOM) solid-state power amplifier (SSPA) block upconverters (BUCs) come in 10.0 lb, 11.2 x 4.4 x 5.4 in. configuration and are constructed for outdoor use. Direct mounting to antenna eliminates long waveguide runs and associated RF losses.
