9.0 Block Up Converter Overview

The Compact Outdoor SSPA is available with various L-Band up converter options. The primary up converter option is the Zero dBm Block Up Converter, ZBUC. ZBUC is offered in four C-Band configurations, two Ku-Band options, and one X-Band model. The ZBUC is not available in S-Band units. See Table 9-1 for specifications for the respective models. The ZBUC offers ultra low phase noise for applications where phase noise is an overriding factor.

The type of BUC housed within your Compact Outdoor SSPA is indicated by its model number, as shown in Figure 9-1. The example in Figure 9-1 shows a 140W C-Band Compact Outdoor SSPA with Internal Reference ZBUC. For a full description of this configurator, refer to the Compact Outdoor SSPA specification sheet (205485).

The block up converters are high performance frequency translation devices which provide excellent phase noise and spurious performance. The ZBUC 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 utilizes Paradise Datacom’s proprietary “Smart Reference 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 Compact Outdoor unit.

The schematic of Figure 9-2 shows the electrical position of the block up converter. It is powered from a +15 VDC supply available on the Fan Boost Converter board assembly. The Block Up Converter is simply cascaded with the SSPA at the input of the amplifier.
