Comtech EF Data CSAT-5060 C-Band VSAT Transceiver
C-Band Operation- 5.845 to 6.725 GHz, 5 watts to 125 Watts
CSAT-5060 C-Band VSAT Transceiver
The CSAT-5060 and CSAT-6070 C-Band Transceivers provide superior performance, long-term reliability, and ease of installation. A very price competitive product, these transceivers embody the best design efforts of Comtech EF Data’s highly experienced RF engineering team.
Full Rated Power
The CSAT-5060 and CSAT-6070 deliver the full rated power, or more, measured at the 1 dB compression point and at the output flange. You will know the useable output power you are paying for, and receive full value for your investment.
Phase Noise
The dual synthesizers in this family of transceivers deliver superior phase noise performance, exceeding Intelsat specifications by a substantial margin. Your applications will benefit from outstanding spectral purity and the ability to operate in multi-carrier environments with less worry.
Third Order Intercept (TOI)
The design provides a high TOI that allows multi-carrier applications without the issues normally encountered in low power environments. The CSAT-5060 and CSAT-6070 deliver performance usually found only in split converter SSPA systems.
Small, Compact Design
The transceivers are enclosed in a single unit chassis. This design allows quick, easy installation for all models in this family of transceivers.
Full Monitor and Control (M&C)
A variety of full monitor and control methods are designed into the CSAT-5060 and CSAT-6070:
• Convenient connection using an optional small, hand-held terminal
• Easy access via EIA-232 or EIA-485 connections
• Remote management via the CDM modem family or the PC-based SatMac proprietary M&C software
Redundancy
The CSAT-5060 and CSAT-6070 are available in a 1:1 redundant configuration.
10 dBm Option
This transceiver is designed to mate with an external high power SSPA (Example: CEFD HPODS) or TWTA to provide even higher output power.
