For Remote Sensing Block Converters
ZODIAC DATA SYSTEMS offers fixed frequency converters operating in the standard X-band and presented in a indoor/outdoor mounting plug and play panel:
- Up Converter
- Down Converter
An ultra stable internal frequency reference is available but external reference can also be used (5 or 10 MHz automatic synchronization).
Applications
- Direct conversion from 8020 – 8420 MHz to 720 MHz ± 200 MHz
- Remote sensing : Direct interface with LNA and High Data Rate Receiver
Main Features
- Monitoring and Control (gain, mute and alarms) through a dongle or a parallel or serial link.
- LNA power supply provided (converter generated +15 VDC / 300 mA limited) and alarm copy.
- Converter DC power supply could be provided on connector and through IF line (Outdoor version).
