Reference Generator ODCI with DC Injection is a rugged outdoor 10 MHz reference and power distribution unit engineered for satellite communication systems deployed in harsh environmental conditions. Operating across 950–1750 MHz, it provides reliable RF transmission, precision reference distribution, and dual regulated power outputs for both BUCs and LNBs. Its weatherproof design ensures stable and continuous operation for remote terminals, field communication nodes, broadcast uplinks, and transportable SATCOM systems.

The Reference Generator ODCI with DC Injection integrates a high-stability 10 MHz reference (±2.5 ppm) with adjustable input/output level (–5…+5 dBm), ensuring accurate LO synchronization for frequency-sensitive RF chains. With regulated 24±0.2 V / 2 A output for BUCs and +15 V / 0.5 A for LNBs, the unit eliminates the need for separate power modules, reducing system complexity. A controlled VSWR ≤1.8 and 50Ω interface ensure low-reflection performance, while the compact 155×114×55 mm housing enables direct pole, mast, or outdoor enclosure installation.

High-stability 10 MHz reference distribution for outdoor SATCOM

The built-in reference generator provides ±2.5 ppm stability, ensuring reliable LO locking for BUCs and other RF modules. This enhances frequency coherence in mobile, remote, or harsh-environment uplinks. The adjustable –5…+5 dBm level supports compatibility with different reference input sensitivities.

Outdoor-grade DC injection for BUC and LNB powering

With regulated 24 V / 2 A output for BUCs and +15 V / 0.5 A for LNBs, the Reference Generator ODCI with DC Injection replaces multiple external power supplies. This significantly simplifies field deployment where cabling must be minimal and reliable. Its stabilized voltage ensures consistent performance even under fluctuating environmental loads.

Weatherproof RF performance with low reflection and clean signal flow

Supporting 950–1750 MHz with VSWR ≤1.8, the unit maintains integrity of both RF and reference tones. The optimized RF path reduces mismatch losses and maintains modulation quality in long-distance uplinks. Designed for harsh outdoor environments, it ensures long-term system stability in rain, dust, and temperature extremes.

🛠️ Engineered for robust outdoor synchronization and power delivery The Reference Generator ODCI with DC Injection integrates reference generation, RF routing, and DC injection into a single weatherproof module, making it ideal for installations where equipment must be mounted near the antenna. Its high-stability reference signal ensures accurate LO performance, while regulated power outputs maintain compatibility across SATCOM devices. In demanding deployments, this unified architecture improves reliability and reduces maintenance.

🛒 Ideal for remote terminals, mobile uplinks and broadcast field systems The combination of rugged construction, precise reference stability, and dual voltage support makes the Reference Generator ODCI with DC Injection suitable for fixed and mobile satellite platforms. From field broadcast vehicles to rural VSAT stations and maritime links, the device ensures dependable operation in all climates.
