Ka-Band Satellite Simulator (30.0-31.0 GHz)
Ka-Band 30.0 to 31.00 GHz @ nominal –25 to +0 dBm, Midband Gain -20 dB loss - attenuation setting including antenna gain, Phase Noise 10 dB (typical) better than IESS 308/309
Ka-Band Simulator
** This product has reached end of life and has been replaced by the Digisat Quad and Tri-band simulators.** Ka-Band Satellite Simulator operates in Ka-Band Frequency from: 30.0 to 31.00 GHz @ nominal –25 to +0 dBm.
With the Wideband Global SATCOM (WGS) becoming operational, Digisat has expanded its Satellite Simulator product line beyond Tri-band, now including both Quad-band and Ka-band capabilities. Designed for use as a training test-bed, our rugged satellite simulators can be used by operations personnel to setup and operate satellite earth terminals in the field under realistic operating conditions without the need for an actual satellite.
Signal Acquiring
Use of Digisat simulators in lieu of a satellite permits signal acquisition by the earth terminal, antenna pointing, uplink power adjustment, signal reception, link closure and communications systems adjustment to establish acceptable bit error rates with very low satellite terminal transmit power.
Key Features
