Block Up Converter (BUC) Input

The LPOD translates an L-Band input carrier to the desired output frequency (C-, X-, or Ku-Band).
LO frequencies are as follows:
Band
C-Band
Insat C-Band
Ku-Band
Ku-Band-W
X-Band
Unlike most BUCs, no DC bias voltage should be provided on the center conductor of the L-Band
coax. In addition, the LPOD is available with an internal 10 MHz reference. As, such, no 10 MHz
reference is required on the center conductor of the L-Band coax. If a reference is provided on
the coax, the internal reference will detect and lock to it.
