SMW Ku BDC 10.70-12.75 GHz Wideband

Ku-Band Wideband Output Block Down Converter (BDC)

The Ku-Band Wideband Output BDC is designed for full Ku-Band reception with a single local oscillator and one extended IF output, supporting the following IF ranges:

• 950–3000 MHz

• 950–2750 MHz

• 290–2340 MHz (ASTRA Wideband specification)

Engineered for high-performance satellite reception, this BDC comes standard with Ultra Low Phase Noise (ULPN), making it ideal for professional applications such as DVB-S2X, NS3, and NS4.

ULPN 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

*Note: These are general recommendations. System performance may also be affected by other components in the signal chain.

Key Features:

• Full Ku-Band coverage: 10.70–12.75 GHz

• Single LO and extended IF output

• Ultra Low Phase Noise as standard for compatibility with advanced modulation formats

• Available with Internal reference or External 10 MHz reference input

• High P1dB and IP3 for superior linearity and signal handling

• Gain configurable on request, from 10 to 60 dB

• Wide operating temperature range for reliable field performance

• Optional low-profile design for 1U rack-mount integration
