The R.L. Drake DUC864 is a low noise
upconverter used to translate the 44 MHz
digital IF signal from a QAM or VSB modulator,
DDC downconverter, or other similar equip-
ment to the desired CATV or off-air output
channel. A single model covers the entire 54 to
860 MHz output range. The DUC864 features
low phase noise and can be used for QAM
modulation up to 256 QAM. This module can be
rack mounted using the DRMM4 or DRMM12
rack mount. The PS8 power supply module is
required with the DRMM12.
