Figure 9-2: Compact Outdoor Block Diagram of BUC / SSPA System

It is important to remember the requirement of a 10 MHz reference oscillator when operating an SSPA with BUC (SSPB). If the 10 MHz reference is not present, the M&C will report a BUC alarm and the SSPA module will mute. This ensures that no spurious or ‘off frequency’ transmission could originate from the amplifier.

Note: Unless the BUC has the built-in internal reference option, if there is an absence of a 10 MHz reference signal on the IFL input there will be no output signal from the SSPA.

This section describes the features available in the Paradise Datacom ZBUC. The ZBUC is available as an option for the Compact Outdoor SSPA. ZBUC is available in four C-Band models, two Ku-Band models, one X-Band model and one Ka-Band model. Table 9-1 shows the specifications for the respective models.
