Teledyne Paradise Datacom uBUC Ku-Band Micro Block Upconverter Module
Ku-Band power outputs of 10, 20 and 25 watts
uBUC Ku-Band Micro Block Upconverter Module
Teledyne Paradise Datacom’s BUC is a Block Up Converter available in X and Ku-Band. The module is specifically designed for highly mobile commercial and military satellite communication applications.
Mobile VSAT Ready
The BUC is ideal for use in any Fly-away or Manpack application where miniature form factor and light weight are a requirement. The converter locks to a 10 MHz external reference signal of -10 dBm to +5 dBm. The external reference must be diplexed on the L-Band Input Connector. The unit requires a customer designed heatsink.
