Product portfolio

What we make

Nine product lines: the full RF chain of a satellite earth station, from the antenna feed to the modem rack, plus in-orbit test systems, a satcom-on-the-move terminal and the cable assemblies that connect it all.

Uplink

Block Upconverters (BUC)

Outdoor BUCs: C-band 25–100 W with SCPI, web and SNMP control, and compact Ku-band 2–6 W.

CKu

Downlink

Ku-band PLL LNB

Dual-band 10.7–12.75 GHz, noise figure 0.9 dB typ., external 10 MHz reference.

Ku

Uplink

High-Power Amplifiers

Solid-state transmitters from 100 W to several kilowatts, backed by our own service and spares stock.

LCXKuKa

Conversion

Frequency Converters

Rack-mount up/downconverters between L-band IF and C, X, Ku, Ka and Q-band, with low phase noise.

CXKuKaQ

Signal routing

L-band Switch Matrices

Any-to-any or custom switching architectures, 8×8 to 16×64 and custom sizes, 500–2500 MHz, 50 or 75 Ω.

L

Signal routing

Microwave Switch Matrices

Electromechanical DC–40 GHz: dual SP4T to SP8T units and 1×36 and 4×36 switch trees.

DC–40 GHz

Payload test

In-Orbit Test (IOT) Systems

Automated payload verification: G/T, EIRP, SFD, AM/AM and transponder frequency response.

LSCKuKKa
In development

Satcom-on-the-move

MAS Flat-Panel Terminal

Electronically steered Ku-band array for GEO links on the move — no moving parts.

Ku

RF interconnect

RF Cable Assemblies

Semi-rigid and flexible assemblies to 50 GHz, including phase-stable test grade.

DC–50 GHz

Our spectrum

One team from L-band IF to 40 GHz

Every earth station starts with an L-band IF. From there, our equipment reaches every major satellite band — as standard models or designed to your frequency plan.
