IBUC 2 Series C-Band Intelligent Block Upconverters

The Terrasat IBUC 2 Series C-Band is a revolutionary intelligent block upconverter with special advanced features such as a low phase noise, built-in M&C and increased efficiency. Integrated fully automatic gain control and ALC comes standard on all BUCs.

The C-Band IBUC 2 Series also provides new interfaces for connecting you to extensive M&C facilities for etwork management or local access. This powerful M&C enables trouble‐free commissioning with easy, point‐and‐click installation/configuration, continuous verification of performance with time‐stamped alarm history and simplified monitoring of terminal status.

IBUC 2 comes with a complete set of diagnostic tools including:

X-Band IBUC 2 Features 10 MHz input detector
X-Band IBUC 2 Features Input voltage and current monitoring
X-Band IBUC 2 Features Transmit L‐band input level detector
X-Band IBUC 2 Features Transmit RF output level detector
X-Band IBUC 2 Features User configurable thresholds and alarms

Unique to the IBUC-2 C-Band are internal AGC and ALC functions that satisfy demanding applications with stringent specifications.
