CEFD UT DT-45xx Serial
These high-performance up-/down-converters provide cost-effective C-Band & Ku-Band frequency conversion.
An up-converter can be used for SCPC, DAMA and TDMA, as well as full transponder HDTV and analog TV. Spectral purity and stability characteristics fully meet or exceed the requirements of all satellite networks, including the Eutelsat HotbirdTM family.
A down-converter can be used for SCPC, DAMA and TDMA, as well as full transponder HDTV and analog TV. Spectral purity and stability characteristics fully meet or exceed the requirements of all satellite networks.
