L-Band Block Upconverter (BUC)
■The basic architecture of a conventional satcom terminal is derived from the historical desire to keep the design and supply of the hardware items as free and open as possible. Over the years, this concept has promoted global competition at every functional hardware block, and has dramatically improved designs and reduced costs to the end user. However, as operating requirements change and technology advances, system architecture must be modified to take advantage of the additional cost and performance benefits that can be realized. A CPI amplifier with an integrated L-band block upconverter (BUC) offers the opportunity for significant cost and reliability savings in low and medium data rate applications by eliminating costly duplicated functions in the conventional RF terminal chain.
■CPI (formerly Varian Electron Device Group) has been active in the design and manufacture of microwave power amplifiers and related products for more than 35 years. The Satcom Products Group of Satcom & Medical Products Division (SMP) manufactures both GaN and GaAs based solid state amplifiers (SSPAs and BUCs); traveling wave tube amplifiers; klystron power amplifiers; and solid state transceivers.
■Over its history, CPI has provided thousands of fully integrated satellite uplink power amplifiers in the S, C, X, Ku, DBS, Ka and Q-band frequency ranges to users worldwide and has become the leading supplier of this class of products.
