vBUC with AC Power Supply |
vBUCTM
Paradise Datacom's next generation of VSAT
Block Up Converters (vBUCTM) offer the same flexible
monitor and control functionality as found in its SSPA product
line. The vBUC is capable of using an external or optional
internal reference signal to phase lock the local oscillator,
and is available with a variety of input power options: via IFL,
24 or 48 VDC or via an optional AC Power Supply.
The vBUCTM is available with
output power levels of 25W and 50W in C-Band; 10W, 25W, and 35W
in X-Band; and 10W, 16W, and 25W in Ku-Band.
The vBUCTM can be configured in
1:1 and 1:2 redundant or dual 1:1 redundant configurations. The
vBUCTM can also be used with the OFM-1000 Fiber Optic
to L-Band converter for fiber IFL capability.
3100 Series VSAT BUCs
The Paradise Datacom legacy 31C and 31K
Series of L Band to C- and Ku-Band Block Up Converters offer a
wide array of choices to configure VSAT uplink terminals. Output
power levels include 10 and 20W in C-Band and 4, 8 and 10W in
Ku-Band.
Internal Phase Locked Local Oscillator
provides excellent phase noise when locked to an external 10 MHz
reference. The BUC can be powered by a separate 48 VDC input or
by the IFL via the coaxial input.
The coaxial IFL input can carry the L Band
block (950-1525 MHz in C-Band and 950-1450 MHz in Ku-Band), 10
MHz reference, 48 VDC, and an optional 650 KHz FSK monitor and
control signal.
The addition of a Bias Tee allows a 10 Watt
or 20 Watt C-Band BUC and a 8 Watt or 10 Watt Ku-Band BUC to be
powered through the IF cable. The Bias Tee is capable of
handling operating currents of up to 6 Amps at 48 VDC.
The Paradise Datacom family of VSAT products
can be configured in a variety of custom systems to meet any
redundant system application. VSAT redundant systems can be
configured to meet any output power level from 2W to 100W in
Ku-Band or 5W to 170W in C-Band. Creative application of the
versatile RCPD-1100 system controller enables redundant system
designs that provide the highest levels of system reliability
while remaining cost effective.
