Description
Comtech BUC-5000 L band to X Band Block Up Converter provides non-inverting frequency conversion between L-Band and X Band RF frequencies. The Comtech BUC-5000 L band to X Band Block Up Converter features a drop down front panel providing access to two “hot swappable” frequency conversion modules, this unit offers either a mix of conversion functionality or 1:1 redundant system operation.
Comtech BUC-5000 L band to X Band Block Up Converter Key Features:
- Meets or exceeds IESS-308/309
- Facilitates 188-164A system compliance
- Low phase noise
- Powerful M&C support
- Ethernet/Telnet/SNMP
- EIA-232/485
- Flexible configuration
- RF Band switching in minimal time without requiring tools
- Available 1:1 redundancy in a 1RU chassis
Applications
The flexibility of the MBT-5000 makes it ideally suited for:
- Earth stations where L-Band IF products are being integrated into a 70/140 MHz IF infrastructure
- Reconfigurable Multi-Band requirements that are typically found in transportable / flyaway type installations
Comtech Block Up Converter (BUC-5000)
The BUC-5000 field interchangeable module translates an L-Band input frequency block up to the band specific RF output frequency block (C, X, Ku, or Ka-Band).
Comtech Block Down Converter (BDC-5000)
The BDC-5000 field interchangeable module translates a band specific input frequency block (C, X, Ku, or Ka) from the LNA down to the corresponding L-Band frequency block.
