Satellite On Board Equipment
Receivers & Up/Down Converters
-
These frequency converters (receivers & up/down converters) convert signals transmitted from a ground station to a frequency that can be received by another ground station. Since 1993, more than 200 units have been installed in satellites worldwide, and not a single report of malfunction in orbit has been received.
Main features
- Low noise and outstanding signal purity
- Wide band performance each frequency
- Stable signal using to oven-controlled oscillator and PLL circuit
- Capable of handling any frequency combination
