Terrasat IBUC R C Band 175W

IBUC R C-Band Intelligent Block Upconverter

The Terrasat C-Band IBUC R Series has all of the advanced IBUC features and the upgraded RJ45 M&C connector. This block upconverter offers significant benefits including low terminal cost, simple design and installation, superior RF performance and a reliable 1+1 configuration.  Available in a wide range of RF power outputs including 80W, 100W, 125W, 150W, 175 and 200 watts. 

The C-band IBUC R Series also provides new interfaces for connecting you to extensive M&C facilities for network management or local access. This powerful M&C enables trouble‐free commissioning with easy, point‐and‐click installation/configuration, continuous verification of performance with time‐stamped alarm history and simplified monitoring of terminal status

IBUC-R comes with a complete set of diagnostic tools including:

 10 MHz input detector
 Input voltage and current monitoring
 Transmit L‐band input level detector
 Transmit RF output level detector
 User configurable thresholds and alarms

Unique to the IBUC are internal AGC and ALC functions that satisfy demanding applications with stringent specifications.
