iDirect FRC0730 Up and Downconverter

Description

The FRC0730 Up and Downconverter is a high performance agile up- and downconverter designed for a wide range of broadcast, telco and IP satellite applications. It offers some advanced and unique features such as a calibrated wide linear gain range over the entire bandwidth combined with a very high frequency stability

Features of the FRC0730

• Perfect solution for a wide range of transmissions ranging from very small carriers to full transponder applications
• Easy to operate and monitor
• Highest signal quality
• Extensive coverage of transponder frequencies through optional RF upconverters
• High flexibility
• Ultra fine frequency resolution
• Very high frequency stability
• Very low spurious characteristics
• High linearity over the entire bandwidth

The FRC0730 is a high performance synthesized up- and downconverter designed for a wide range of broadcast, telco and IP satellite applications. In its default configuration, the FRC0730 upconverts IF signals (70 or 140 MHz) to L-band (950–2150 MHz) and simultaneously downconverts L-band signals (950–2150 MHz) to IF. Optionally, the FRC0730 can upconvert IF signals to C, Ku or DBS-band.

The FRC0730 offers some advanced and unique features such as a calibrated high linearity over the entire bandwidth combined with a very high frequency stability. These features make the FRC0730 the perfect solution for a wide range of transmissions ranging from very small carriers to full transponder applications. The IF frequency is switchable from 70 MHz to 140 MHz and the L-band frequency is adjustable in steps of 48 Hz. The high output frequency stability is provided by an internal 10 MHz reference clock. For applications requiring a very high frequency stability, such as very low data rate carriers, an optional 0.01 ppm stability reference clock can be ordered separately.

A switchable DC power supply and a reference frequency on the L-band output are also available as options, providing a compact and cost effective solution when the FRC0730 is used in combination with an outdoor RF Upconverter and/or amplifier. Optionally, an LNB power supply, a frequency band selection signal and a 10 MHz reference frequency can be delivered to an LNB via the L-band input. The FRC0730 is easy to operate and monitor. All control and monitoring parameters are available locally on the front panel and remotely through a web interface. It is also possible to control or monitor the FRC0730 via RMCP or SNMP. The FRC0730 is also available as a stand-alone upconverter (model number FRC0710) or as a stand-alone downconverter (model number FRC0720).
