Spacepath Ku Band to L Band Downconverter 1:1 Redundant System

Description

The Spacepath Ku Band to L Band Downconverter 1:1 Redundant System provides a commercial grade Ku Band to L Band Downconverter frequency converter solution. The Spacepath Ku Band to L Band Downconverter 1:1 Redundant System can be used to connect Ku Band RF reception equipment such as LNAs to L Band RF decoding and reception equipment.

The Spacepath range of intelligent frequency converters support the next generation of satellite communication applications with its state of the art design, unprecedented reliability, and 3 years warranty.

The Spacepath Ku Band to L Band Downconverter 1:1 Redundant System series can combine up to 4 embedded frequency converters in a single 1RU chassis to provide a high density 1:1 redundant up/down converter. The Spacepath Ku Band to L Band Downconverter 1:1 Redundant System features patent pending hot-swappable power supply and converter module shelf redundancy with embedded switch controller, embedded input and output switches. TheSpacepath Ku Band to L Band Downconverter Redundant System supports intuitive monitor and control functionality via the front panel, serial ports EIA232/EIA485 and Ethernet.

The Spacepath Ku Band to L Band Downconverter Redundant System features superior RF characteristic with flexible reference auto-sence functionality that can lock to an external 5/10 MHz reference or utilise the built-in high stability reference oscillator.
