Ku-Band Airborne Transceiver

Model: TR-13A7514A5-014

This Ku-band Linear Ku-band Transceiver was specifically designed for satellite communications in airborne, non-pressurized environment. The product is environmentally sealed and meets RTCA DO-160 requirements. The transceiver consists of a high linearity Block Up-Converter (BUC) and Block Down-Converter (BDC) combined within single housing. It is also suitable for SATCOM and Point-to-Point ground based applications. Built-In Microcontroller provides remote monitor and control functions. The BUC covers frequencies of 14.0 to 14.5 GHz with IF Input of 0.95 to 1.45 GHz (Optional 13.75 to 14.5 GHz with IF Input 0.95 to 1.7 GHz). The BDC covers frequencies of 10.7 to 12.7 GHz with IF Output 0.95 to 1.45 GHz (4 switchable Frequency Bands 500 MHz wide each). The Transceiver is operated with 18 to 36VDC / 28W maximum.
