Peak IBDH(A) Series Rack Mounted Block Down Converter

Peak IBDH(A) Series Rack Mounted Block Down Converter

The Peak Communications IBDH(A) Series is a family of high-performance rack mounted Block Down Converters (BDCs) designed for professional satellite earth stations, teleports, broadcast receive systems, gateway facilities, and defense SATCOM applications. Available in S-Band, C-Band, X-Band, Ku-Band, and DBS-Band frequency ranges, the IBDH(A) Series converts SHF satellite signals into L-Band outputs for direct connection to satellite receivers, demodulators, or further IF conversion using Peak synthesised frequency converters.

Built around externally phase-locked dielectric resonator oscillator (XPDRO) technology, the IBDH(A) Series delivers exceptional frequency stability, ultra-low phase noise, and superior spurious rejection compared with conventional VCO-based block down converters. The converters feature a front-panel graphical user interface, Ethernet and serial remote management, automatic 10 MHz external reference locking, integrated CANBUS® 1+1 and 2+1 redundancy control, and optional fiber optic L-Band interfaces, slope compensation, and variable attenuation. Available in single-, dual-, triple-, and quad-channel configurations, the IBDH(A) Series is ideal for mission-critical satellite communication infrastructure.
