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.

SSPB refers to Advantech AMT's line of hub-mount, block up-converter transmitters operating in the C, Ku and DBS bands.
Used in conjunction with indoor L-band transceivers, SSPBs provide the utmost in convenience and efficiency. The SSPB is an integrated unit complete with power supply, phase-locked oscillator, mixer, filter and cooling mechanism. SSPBs are available for operation in any of the standard up-link frequency bands. SSPBs are also available for low output power.
Features:

  • Converts synthesized L-Band (950-1550MHz) to C-band, Ku-band or DBS-band

  • Phase-locked local oscillator to an external 50 MHz reference (10 MHz optional)

  • Low phase noise

  • Wide range of output power from 1 watts to 400 watts

  • Weatherproof package
