Falcon X-band Block Upconverter 24147

FN-U-X3L1-24147

• Description

  Model FN-U-X3L1-24147 Falcon X-band block up converter, converting L-band (950 - 1450 MHz) to X-band (7.9-8.4 GHz).

  The Falcon holds up to five converters modules in a compact 1U chassis, which are hot-swap. Each conversion module is 3 slots wide.

  FLEXIBLE module configurations are available. Choose a mixture of up and down, agile and block converters with different operating frequencies, in the same chassis.

  RESILIENCE is also provided from hot-swap dual redundant power supplies and a field serviceable CPU.

  10MHz reference source for external/internal (field replaceable).

  INTEGRATED CONVERTER REDUNDANCY: Hot-swap and field-replaceable 2+1 redundant configuration (with standby input / output) or 1+1 redundant configuration (with standby input / output) available - see separate datasheets.

• Applications

  Typical Applications

  • Teleports and Earth Stations
  • Satellite Operators
  • Government and Defence
  • Telemetry, Tracking and Command (TT&C)
  • High resilience applications
• Configurations

  Each Falcon conversion chassis has 17 module slots.

  2 slots are required for mandatory 10MHz reference source and fan.

  Leaving 15 module slots for other RF modules.

  Depending on the configuration the chassis can house up to 5 conversion modules or 3 conversion modules and a redundancy switch.

  Maximum converter module capacity in the chassis is dependent upon the application required.
