Work Microwave Cloud-ready Digital Converter DBUC

Digital Block Upconverter is one of the WORK Microwave’s Virtual Ground Station (VGS) main units for digitalization of RF signals.

DBUC receives digital baseband signals as IP packets in DIFI standard from the V-series software modem and converts them to RF signals. It does block up conversion from digital baseband to RF.

At the output, the RF signals are sent to the HPA for amplification and uplink to the satellite.

DBDC & DBUC: Key features and advantages

• They include block converters (direct S/C/X/Ku/DBS/Ka/Q/V-band port is possible, and IF/L-band as well), with this result: the system is very compact and eliminates the additional need for separate frequency converters, redundancy switches, additional RF connection points, and signal attenuations.
• They are designed as the outdoor type that can be mounted at antenna directly. This feature eliminates the need for a big RF shelter near the antenna or saves significant space in terms of system integration.
• Multiple-band options (triple for Ka-band, dual for Ku-Band… as an example) for simultaneous Tx and Rx at high/medium/low bands.
• Switchable LO option (selectable high/medium/low… band)
• Lossless transport for IP networks with QoS (Quality of Service) and enough bandwidth.
• Fiber optical output option for block downconverter and input option for block upconverter.
• High operational temperature: -40° to +70° C
