Overview
The RF marketplace has been transitioning from traditional 70/140 MHz IF-based networks to systems using L-Band (950 to 2000 MHz) for the modem/RF equipment link. The MBT-4000 and MBT-4000B Multi-Band RF Transceivers are designed to perform C, X, Ku or Ka RF to L-Band down conversion and L-Band to C, X, Ku or Ka RF up conversion. The MBT-4000 supports two independent converter modules. The MBT-4000B supports one up converter module and also provides the bias, reference, and monitoring of one LNB.
Details
- RF band switching in minimal time without requiring tools
- Minimal cost for a complete system including spares
- Easy expansion for providing a redundant system or other frequency bands
- Rugged construction for mobile and transportable applications
- Automatic band identification for the BUC, BDC, and antenna feed (if the feeds provide an identifying connector)
- Meets or exceeds MIL-STD-188-164A
- Low phase noise
- No spectral inversion
- 10 dB gain adjustment
- Auto band sensing capability
- Easy system status verification via LEDs located behind a removable cover
- 1:1 redundant up and down conversion which can be “Chain switched” with external amplifiers and LNA/LNBs
