Frequency Converters

SpacePath Intelligent Frequency Converters (IFC™) shape the next-generation satellite transmission with its breakthrough leading edge technology, state of the art design, and unprecedented reliability 3 Years Warranty.

The IFC™ series design allows up to 4 embedded converters in a single 1RU shelf with extensive monitor and control via front panel, serial ports EIA232/EIA485 and Ethernet.

Also in the IFC Product range is the 1:1 redundant, hot swappable frequency convertor. This frequency converter requires does not require a separate external 1RU switch controller or external input /output switches. The 1RU redundancy design is also a cost-effective alternative to typical 3U-based solutions, providing significant savings in terms of reduced rack mount space, fewer RF cables and lower system costs.

Features Best in Class RF characteristic, Flexible reference with autosensing can lock to external 5/10 MHz reference or utilize built-in high stability reference oscillator.
