Peak PBD(A) Series Remote Mounted Block Down Converters

Peak PBD(A) Series Remote Mounted Block Down Converters

The Peak Communications PBD(A) Series is a family of single-range remote mounted Block Down Converters (BDCs) designed for professional satellite earth stations, teleports, gateway facilities, broadcast receive systems, telemetry, and government SATCOM applications. Compatible with a wide range of L-Band satellite modems and frequency converters, the PBD(A) Series converts C-Band, X-Band, Ku-Band, and DBS-Band RF signals into L-Band outputs, providing reliable outdoor frequency conversion with excellent RF performance.

Built for demanding outdoor environments, the PBD(A) Series utilizes externally phase-locked dielectric resonator oscillators (XPDROs) to deliver outstanding frequency stability, low phase noise, and excellent spurious rejection. Standard features include automatic 10 MHz external reference locking, rugged IP66 weatherproof construction, Ethernet and SNMP remote management (optional), optional electronic attenuation, and support for 1+1 and 2+1 redundancy systems, making the series ideal for fixed, transportable, and gateway satellite communication systems.
