MUC5865-07

C-Band Block Upconverter

950-1525 MHz to 5.850-6.425 GHz
40W Output Power

TERRASAT INC.’s MUC5865-07 is a SATCOM upconverter that block converts L-Band

(950-1525 MHz) to 5.850-6.425 GHz standard C-Band uplink frequency with 40W output
power at P1dB in a single weatherproof housing. This upconverter interfaces directly with
any L-Band modem or 70 MHz to L-Band converter that can provide an L-Band IF (950-1525
MHz), DC supply voltage, and an external frequency reference (10 MHz).

Other Features
• -40°C to +60°C operating temperature range
• Temperature compensation circuitry to limit gain variations over temperature
• Out-of-lock and thermal shutoff
• Cooling fan
Monitor and Control
• DC voltage for monitoring output power
• Indicator line for fault monitoring
• On/Off control for output power
