Peak PBU(B) Series Multi-Range Remote Mounted Block Up Converters

Peak PBU(B) Series Multi-Range Remote Mounted Block Up Converters 

The Peak Communications PBU(B) Series is a family of multi-range remote mounted Block Up Converters (BUCs) designed for professional satellite earth stations, teleports, broadcast uplink facilities, VSAT hubs, and government SATCOM systems. Accepting 950–1950 MHz L-Band inputs from satellite modems or IF-to-L-Band frequency converters such as the Peak P7002 Series, the PBU(B) converts signals to C-Band, Ku-Band, DBS-Band, and INSAT C-Band uplink frequencies using internal electronically selectable frequency ranges.

Designed for high-performance outdoor operation, the PBU(B) Series utilizes externally phase-locked dielectric resonator oscillators (XPDROs) to deliver excellent frequency stability, low phase noise, and superior RF performance. Standard features include Ethernet with embedded web server, SNMP network management, RS-232/RS-485 remote control, automatic 10 MHz external reference locking, and integrated 1+1 / 2+1 CANBUS® redundancy control, making the series ideal for fixed, transportable, and mobile satellite communication systems.
