The upconverters unit with 1+1 redundancy is suitable for building the large earth stations that require cost effective solutions for frequency converters.
Lightweight, durable and compact design ensures that the converter is effective solution for mobile reporting stations.
Thanks to aluminum chassis and solid modular interior design, the upconverters unit with 1+1 redundancy can be installed on military targets. The upconverters units with 1+1 redundancy have a large MTBF value, which is more than 120,000 hours.

Upconverters units with 1+1 redundancy can be used in VSAT stations, SCPC networks, reporting stations of SNG type, DVB-RCS systems and hubs, and any other systems where compact backup systems are needed.

 

KEY FEATURES: 

  • The upconverters unit with 1+1 redundancy includes the separate frequency converter block, detector module, power supply and reference oscillator.
  • The upconverters unit with 1+1 redundancy consists of two frequency converters, which are located in the case of 1RU and can be automatically replaced in "hot" mode (1+1).
  • It is possible to replace a separate converter block with a replacement block without turning off the chassis.
  • The upconverters unit with 1+1 redundancy provides automatic (in case of failure of one of the blocks) or manual switching between the blocks of frequency converters.
  • Each converter is a completely autonomous device, which is executed as a replacement block.
  • Replacement blocks are frequency converters with dual conversion of 70 MHz / 2400 MHz / L.
  • It has local control from the front panel, which has LCD, LEDs and buttons.
  • Provides complete remote control via an Ethernet interface connector located on the back panel.

 

MAIN FUNCTIONS:

  • The upconverters unit with 1+1 redundancy provides the signals frequency conversion from the range of 50 - 90 MHz to the L-band (950-2150 MHz) when working in stations of satellite communication and television (L, S, C, X and Ku frequency bands).
  • Provides automatic "hot" backup of converter blocks, reference generators and power supply units according to the scheme 1+1.
  • Provides automatic switching to the backup unit when one of the blocks is broken.
  • Provides the gain factor adjusting either using buttons on the front panel or remotely.
