Upconverter – Definition and Pronunciation
What is Upconverter?
An upconverter is a device for converting the frequency of a signal into a higher frequency.
Examples of Upconverter
The BUC is typically 5 W RF (+37 dBm; 88 W input power) or 10 W RF (+40 dBm; 170 W input power) (SSPA and upconverter), to upconvert L-band IF signal to Ka-band RF signal (27,652–29,071 GHz), more specifically, operation at 27,652–28,388 GHz with 26,600 GHz LO and 28,172–29,071 GHz with 27,200 GHz LO.

Link = modulation equipment + upconversion equipment + amplification equipment + uplink transmission channel + frequency shift (conversion at the satellite) equipment + downlink transmission channel + signal reception/antenna + amplification equipment + downconversion equipment + demodulation equipment.
