These BUCs are ruggedly built for continuous outdoor duty in all types of environments. They are especially suitable for SCPC, MCPC, and DAMA applications.
The upconverter, power amplifier, monitor and control and power supply are included in a single enclosure and the only cabling required to the indoor equipment are IF cables. An ovenized, high stability crystal oscillator is used to lock the TX synthesizer. Additional temperature and aging compensation are provided by an onboard microprocessor.
