The ACMB-X20W-E1-V3 from Acorde Technologies is a Block Up Converter (BUC) that converts an input frequency from 950 – 1450 MHz to an output frequency of 7.9 – 8.4 GHz. It provides over 60 dB of gain and has an output P1dB of more than 20 W. The BUC has an attenuation range of 30 dB with a 0.5 dB step size. It has a phase noise of -88 dBc/Hz at 10 kHz offset, spurious levels of less than -60 dBc, and harmonics of better than -50 dBc.
The ACMB-X20W-E1-V3 requires a DC supply of 48 V and consumes less than 180 W of power. It is available in a rugged enclosure that measures either 281 x 160 x 85 mm (DC source) or 302 x 160 x 85 mm (optional AC supply) with N-type female, WR112 CPRG flange, and SMA-female interfaces. The BUC delivers MIL-STD-188-164C standard performance and is ideal for application in all X-band professional & military satellite communication systems.
