FN-D-K4L1-24124 ETL Falcon Ka-band Block Downconverter

Product Code: FN-D-K4L1-24124

Description

Falcon Ka-band Block down converter, converting:

Mode 1: Ka-band (17.3 - 18.4GHz) to L-band (950 - 2050MHz)

Mode 2: Ka-band (18.4 - 19.3GHz) to L-band (950 - 2050MHz)

Mode 3: Ka-band (19.3 - 20.1GHz) to L-band (950 - 2050MHz)

Mode 4: Ka-band (20.1 - 21.2GHz) to L-band (950 - 2050MHz)

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 - for full tech spec see separate datasheets.

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.

Module sizes

  • 1 slot wide - for 10MHz reference source 
  • 1 slot wide - for fan
  • 3 slots wide - for Falcon Up/Down Conversion modules
