Title: BUC Info C or Ku band ? Waveguide ? Post by n1ghtwalk3r on Oct 15th, 2009 at 7:59pm
Guys i have buc that doesn t indicate if its c-band or ku-band just says
made in japan p/n 1026739 rev 006 s/n A023150B DC INPUT +15VTO+30 RF OUTPUT CAUTION +10DBM MAX |

If the output waveguide flange is square and the waveguide aperture 0.75" x 0.375" then it is a Ku band BUC.
If the output waveguide aperture is larger and the flange rectangular then it is a C band BUC. Note the CAUTION +10 dBm max. That is the maximum allowable L band input power. Exceed that and you risk damaging the BUC. Best regards, Eric. |

so its ku-band right

its the one with the circle i will re-check is it possible to get c-band service on 1.2? meter dish

That circle, surrounding the Ku band waveguide aperture, is for a rubber "O" ring sealing gasket. The opposing waveguide should preferably have a flat surface.
Whether or not a 1.2m diameter dish is a suitable size for C band reception depends on the downlink carrier power from the satellite. Most C band receive dishes are 1.8m or larger since C band satellite beams are generally low power. A larger dish helps minimise interference from adjacent satellites. For C band uplinking (two way) operation, larger dishes, like 1.8m diameter upwards are recommended as they have a main beam beamwidth more compatible with typical inter-satellite spacings. Best regards, Eric. |
