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:
BUC C, X, Ku LO Frequencies
Band
C-Band 5850 to 6650 MHz
X-Band 7900 to 8400 MHz
Ku-Band 14.00 to 14.50 GHz
Ku-Band-W 13.75 to 14.50 GHz
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.
