1 W Ku-band block up-converter with LO of 8.8 GHz BUC-Ku01-8.8 v2 is designed for MVDS TV broadcasting systems application in accordance with DVB-S/S2 or DVB-C standards (use “Customized” button to choose needed parameters) and operates with up to 25 carriers. BUC-Ku01-8.8 v2 has output flange of PBR120 type and can be used with regular radio-relay link (directional) or broadcast (sector and OMNI) antennas. BUC-Ku01-8.8 v2 supports all modulation types up to 32APSK and 256QAM (you may choose the modulation type while filling the “customized equipment” form). BUC-Ku01-8.8 v2 has the best linearity parameters to ensure the stability of the output frequency and low IMD3 level (these parameters are very important for high quality modulation, therefore the local oscillator of BUC-Ku01-8.8 v2 is locked by PLL with internal frequency reference). BUC-Ku01-8.8 v2 provides 9.75 – 10.75 GHz output frequency range (bandwidth in Ku-band) for 950-1950 MHz input frequency range (bandwidth in L-band).
BUC-Ku01-8.8 v2.0 is a professional DVB-S/S2 Ku-band Block Upconverter engineered for satellite uplinks, MVDS broadcasting systems and mobile broadcast environments. With a fixed 8.8 GHz PLL local oscillator, it ensures high stability and low phase noise, supporting demanding modulation formats such as 32APSK and 256QAM.
This Ku-band BUC provides 1 W minimum output power at P1dB, ≥47 dB gain and integrated ALC with 25 dB dynamic range for automatic power control. An internal 10 MHz reference oscillator simplifies synchronization in DVB-S/S2 and MVDS systems, making the BUC-Ku01-8.8 v2.0 an excellent choice for system integrators requiring a compact, high-stability Ku-band transmitter.
