MPA Hub Mount I&O Manual
Appendix E
Optional L-band BUC
(Ku Band Only)
The optional block upconverter (BUC) option allows the user to operate the
MPA Hub Mount with L-band input frequencies (950-1450 MHz).
The BUC converts the L-band frequencies to Ku-band (14 to 14.5 GHz).
If the BUC internal oscillator fails or drifts outside of the capture range, a
"BUC alarm" signal will be reported on the optional CPI remote panel or
through the supplied "Setup & Remote software".
