CSAT-6070 Super Extended C-Band VSAT Transceiver

The Comtech 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-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-6070 delivers 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-6070 is 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.
