Description
The Spacepath 70/140MHz to L Band Rack Mount Upconverter provides a commercial grade IF to L Band Upconverter frequency solution. The Spacepath 70/140MHz to L Band Rack Mount Upconverter 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 70/140MHz to L Band Rack Mount Upconverter series can combine up to 4 embedded frequency converters in a single 1RU chassis to provide a high density 1:1 redundant upconverter. The Spacepath 70/140MHz to L Band Rack Mount Upconverter supports intuitive monitor and control functionality via the front panel, serial ports EIA232/EIA485 and Ethernet.
The Spacepath 70/140MHz to L Band Rack Mount Upconverter 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.
