Ku-Band Airborne Transceiver

MODEL: TR-13A7514A5-1035-1

This airborne Ku band Transceiver is a high performance Block Up-Converter (BUC) and Block Down-Converter (BDC) combined within single housing suitable for SATCOM and Point-to-Point applications. Built-In Microcontroller provides remote monitor and control functions. The BUC covers frequencies of 13.75 to 14.5 GHz with IF Input of 0.95 to 1.7 GHz. The BDC covers frequencies of 10.7 to 12.75 GHz with IF Output 0.95 to 2.15 GHz. The Transceiver is operated with 18 to 36VDC / 20W maximum. The Transceiver is environmentally protected and suitable for Avionics applications in -55°C to +71°C.
