Spacepath L Band to 70/140MHz IF Downconverter 1:1 Redundant System

Description

The Spacepath L Band to 70/140MHz IF Downconverter 1:1 Redundant System provides a commercial grade IF to L Band Downconverter solution. The Spacepath L Band to 70/140MHz IF Downconverter 1:1 Redundant System can be used to upgrade legacy Intermediate Frequency (IF 70/140MHz) RF distribution systems to support modern L Band distribution architectures.

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 L Band to 70/140MHz IF 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 L Band to 70/140MHz IF Downconverter 1:1 Redundant System supports intuitive monitor and control functionality via the front panel, serial ports EIA232/EIA485 and Ethernet.

The Spacepath L Band to 70/140MHz IF Downconverter 1:1 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.

Spacepath L Band to 70/140MHz IF Downconverter 1:1 Redundant System Features:
