BUC

Block Up Converter, typically pronounced as a word. The BUC upshifts the frequency received from the transmit modem and sends it out through the feed horn to the dish, where it is bounced up to the satellite. The critical need for low noise in the LNB is not so important, as the signal is relatively strong at this point.
