4.0 Block Up Converter Overview

The Mini Compact Outdoor SSPA is available with various converter options, utilizing Paradise Datacom’s integrated converter. The primary up converter option is offered in two C-Band configurations, two Ku-Band options, and one X-Band model. The BUC offers ultra low phase noise for applications where phase noise is an overriding factor. For specifications, see Table 4-1.

The type of BUC housed within your Mini Compact Outdoor SSPA is indicated by its model number, as shown in Figure 4-1. The example listed shows a 100W C-Band Mini Compact Outdoor SSPA with Internal Reference BUC. For a full description of this configurator, refer to the Mini Compact Outdoor SSPA specification sheet (208142).

The block up converters are high performance frequency translation devices which provide excellent phase noise and spurious performance. The 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. See Section 4.4 for more detail.

The converter 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 reconfiguration.

The schematic of Figure 4-2shows the electrical position of the block up converter.

It is important to remember the requirement of a reference oscillator when operating an SSPA with BUC (SSPB). If the 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.
