BUC
The BUC (Block up converter) accepts transmit signals from the
RCST and provides up conversion to the satellite uplink frequency and
transmits them to the satellite.
For the StarPro1
ODU, the BUC includes a Solid State Power Amplifier available as Ku-Band
transceivers for .5-, 1-, 2-, or 4-Watt operation and as C-Band transceivers for 2- and 5-Watt
operation. The RCST provides a 24VDC source to power these units. For the 4-Watt Ku-band
and 5-Watt C-band units, the RCST is equipped with an external power supply adapter to satisfy
the additional power requirement.
