Radyne SFC6400A C-Band Synthesized Frequency Upconverter

SFC6400A C-Band Synthesized Frequency Upconverter

The Radyne SFC6400A C-Band Synthesized Frequency Up Converter was designed to provide performance that meets or exceeds industry standards. The SFC6400A also provides ease of integration and operation. The SFC6400A offers the highest standard output power of any rack-mount up converter available.

Integrated Attenuation

With an output P1 dB in excess of +15 dBm, the SFC6400A may eliminate the need for line amplifiers in your next installation. Installing the SFC6400A into any existing earth station is easily accomplished due to the presence of independently adjustable input and output attenuators that provide total gain control of 50 dB. The input attenuator optimizes the existing IF power applied to the converter to a level which guarantees optimal performance over 30 dB of input signal power. Output power is adjustable over 20 dB, which further guarantees that spurious performance is maintained independently of up converter gain.

Linear RF

Linearity of the converter is equally impressive. The SFC6400A boasts a two tone IMD products of -44 dBc for a combined output power of 5 dBm. Phase linearity is maintained through an internal group delay equalizer that limits parabolic plus linear group delay to less than three nanoseconds across the band. Thus, the SFC6400A is ideally suited for multiple carrier or DVB uplinks where linearity and group delay distortion becomes critical.

Simple Setup & Operation

All of the configuration, monitor and control functions are available at the front panel. Operating parameters such as frequency, channel, gain, gain offset and switch settings (backup only) can be readily set and changed at the front panel.Additionally, all functions can be accessed with a terminal or personal computer via a serial link (RS-232, RS-485, or Ethernet) for complete remote monitor and control (M&C) capabilities.Extensive fault monitoring with masking capability, along with time and date stamped event storage are available.
