1.3.1 Block Up Converter (BUC-5003)
The BUC-5003 Block Up Converter module translates an L-Band (1000 to 1500 MHz) input
carrier to the desired X-Band (7900 to 8400 MHz) output frequency with an output level capable
of driving either solid state or tube-based amplifiers.
1.3.2 Block Down Converter (BDC-5003)
The BDC-5003 Block Down Converter module translates any X-Band (7250 to 7750 MHz)
signal to a corresponding L-Band (1000 to 15000 MHz) frequency.
