ANDREW - XR1316 BUC

Model XR1316 for External 10MHz Reference Signal Applications

The compact transmit-receive integrated assembly comprising 3 watts Ku band transmitter block upconverter (BUC) and a low phase noise PLL LNB with switched local oscillator frequencies and integrated ortho-mode transducer (OMT) and filters which separate the horizontal and vertical polarisations and the transmit and receive frequencies. It combines all those ugly old OMT, waveguides and transmits reject filter into one neat compact assembly. A key advantage is that you don't need to pre-choose the type of LNB. In this case, a multi-frequency LO universal LNB is offered with multiple local oscillator frequencies, switchable using an external dongle that fits the LNB cable next to the modem and which allows the LNB LO frequency and co-pol or cross-pol operation to be selected using DIL switches.

Transmit 14 to 14.5 GHz. Receive 10.7 to 12.75 GHz. Co-pol or x-pol operation

The low phase noise PLL type LNB uses phase lock loop technology, making this ideal for narrowband SCPC as well as advanced modulation techniques 8-PSK, 8-QAM and 16-QAM which make more efficient use for the satellite bandwidth and so potentially reduce monthly costs by 2/3 or 1/2 of present costs. It is ideal for DVB-S2 when operating at the highest order modulation methods.

Transmit frequency:  The satellite uplink frequency is in the range 14 - 14.5 GHz. The BUC up-converter frequency is 13.05 GHz so your modem transmit frequency needs to be in the range is in the 950 to 1450 MHz

• Receive frequency: The PLL LNB has multiple alternative local oscillator conversion frequencies which may be selected using an external dongle located in the LNB cable next to the indoor modem. DIL switches allow the selection of the appropriate LNB local oscillator frequency to suit your VSAT modem receive range. Cross-pol operation and co-pol operation may be selected also.
