GC-1401-01 manual

 

The GC-1401-01 BUC Module accepts L band signals within the range 950-1450 and converts them to 14-14.5GHz.

The Unit is built within an air-cooled housing and contains a 24V 2A power supply (PSU), 10MHz reference and monitor PCB; the L band, 10MHz and DC combiner; and the L – Ku Band Block up converter (BUC).

The status of the PSU and BUC lock is monitored and clean contact status output is provided. Three LEDs indicate PSU status (green Good), and BUC status (green – good; red - failed).

The 10MHZ reference signal is combined with the L band input and the 24V (2A) DC a supply is also added to the composite output signal.

The monitor circuit can be adjusted to provide high and low current alarms within the capability of the power supply. If the SSPA is not being provided to be integrated with the unit, an indication of the current variations and required settings for the alarms will be needed.
