2 W C-band block up-converter with LO of 8.8 GHz. BUC-Ku02-8.8-v2.0 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-Ku02-8.8 has output flange of PBR120 type and can be used with regular radio-relay link (directional) or broadcast (sector and OMNI) antennas. BUC-Ku02-8.8-v2.0 supports all modulation types up to 32APSK and 256QAM (you may choose the modulation type while filling the “customized equipment” form). BUC-Ku02-8.8 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-Ku02-8.8 is locked by PLL with internal frequency reference). BUC-Ku02-8.8-v2.0 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-Ku02-8.8 v2.0 is a next-generation DVB-S/S2 Ku-band Block Upconverter designed for demanding uplink environments, MVDS networks and professional broadcasting platforms. Unlike the Ku01 series, this upgraded Ku02 model delivers 2 W output power at P1dB, combined with 53 dB gain, making it suitable for extended coverage and multicarrier transmission scenarios.
With a fixed 8.8 GHz PLL local oscillator, the BUC-Ku02-8.8 v2.0 provides stable frequency conversion and excellent phase noise characteristics for DVB-S/S2 applications, supporting modulation schemes up to 256QAM and 32APSK.
