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

Description

The Spacepath L Band to Ku Band Upconverter 1:1 Redundant System provides a commercial grade L Band to Ku Band Upconverter frequency converter solution. The Spacepath L Band to Ku Band Upconverter 1:1 Redundant System can be used to connect L Band RF distribution systems to Ku Band RF systems.

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 Ku Band Upconverter 1:1 Redundant System 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 Ku Band Upconverter 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. The Spacepath L Band to Ku Band Upconverter 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 Ku Band Upconverter 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.
