SMW Ku BDC 10.70-12.75 GHz WDL

Ku-Band Dual Output Block Down Converter (BDC)

This Ku-Band BDC supports simultaneous reception of Low and High bands across the full Ku frequency range. Choose between two models:

• Model E: 10.70–12.75 GHz

• Model B: 10.95–12.75 GHz

Designed to meet demanding requirements, it comes with Ultra Low Phase Noise (ULP) as standard, making it ideal for the reception of DVB-S2X (professional profiles), as well as NS3 and NS4 signals. A built-in Low Loss Isolator ensures excellent input VSWR, contributing to stable and reliable performance.

ULP is recommended* for:

DVB-S2:

• Narrowband 8PSK with 8/9 and 9/10 FEC

• 16APSK or higher modulation (any bandwidth)

• All applications with “Pilot Off”

DVB-S2X:

• All MODCODs and symbol rates

NS3 / NS4:

• All MODCODs and symbol rates

*Please note: These are general recommendations. Overall system performance will also depend on other components in the signal chain.

Key Features:

• Simultaneous Low and High band reception

• Full Ku-Band coverage (10.70–12.75 GHz)

• Ultra Low Phase Noise (ULP) as standard

• Models available with External 10 MHz reference or Internal ±1 ppm reference

• High P1dB and IP3 for excellent linearity and signal handling

• Wide operating temperature range

• Dual output for separate Low and High band IF signals

• Low input VSWR for improved system integration
