IBUC R X-Band Intelligent Block Upconverter
The Terrasat X-Band IBUC R Series has all of the advanced IBUC features and the upgraded RJ45 M&C connector. This block upconverter offers significant benefits including low terminal cost, simple design and installation, superior RF performance and a reliable 1+1 configuration. Available in a wide range of RF power outputs including 80W, 100W, 125W, 150W and 175 watts.
The IBUC R Series also provides new interfaces for connecting you to extensive M&C facilities for network 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-R comes with a complete set of diagnostic tools including:
10 MHz input detector
Input voltage and current monitoring
Transmit L‐band input level detector
Transmit RF output level detector
User configurable thresholds and alarms
Unique to the IBUC are internal AGC and ALC functions that satisfy demanding applications with stringent specifications.
