1.1

7010STC-O3b-A and 7010STC-O3b-B are highly reliable and innovative Block Up-converters (BUC)

specially designed for O3B satellite communication uplink system. This equipment converts the IF

signal (7010STC-O3b-A:1052-1788 MHz, 7010STC-O3b-B: 972-1871 MHz) to RF signal (7010STC-

O3b-A: 27.652-28.388 GHz, 7010STC-O3b-B: 28.172-29.071 GHz) with maximum linear output

power of 38dBm and saturated output power of 40dBm.

This manual provides the instructions necessary for operation and maintenance of 7010STC-O3b-A

and -B. All user interfaces present in the BUC, as well as an exact description of the diverse signals

in the connectors of the BUC, will be described in this document. This manual also explains the RS-
