8.0 Block Up Converter Overview
Teledyne Paradise Datacom SSPAs are available with various L-Band up converter
options. The primary up converter option is the Zero dBm Block Up Converter, zBUC.
The zBUC
®
converter is offered in four C-Band configurations, two Ku-Band options,
and one X-Band model. See
Table 8-1
for specifications on the respective models.
The zBUC converter offers ultra low phase noise for applications where phase noise is
an overriding factor.
The type of BUC housed within your SSPA is indicated by its model number, as shown
in
Figure 8-1
. The example in
Figure 8-1
shows a 450W Ku-Band Rack Mount SSPA
with Internal Reference ZBUC converter. For a full description of this configuration
matrix, refer to the 6RU Rack Mount SSPA specification sheet (
202059
).
The block up converters are high performance frequency translation devices which
provide excellent phase noise and spurious performance. The zBUC converter also
supports FSK communications for remote M&C capability. The FSK is a 650 KHz
signal that is multiplexed onto the L-Band input of the unit.
The zBUC converter utilizes Teledyne Paradise Datacom’s proprietary “Smart Refer-
ence Technology”. Smart Reference Technology allows the system user to change
reference frequency and power level or choose internal or external reference without
requiring any system configuration. An internal BUC adds about 1.5 pounds to the
overall weight of the SSPA.
