ACSAT-X10W
06/02/08
DESCRIPTION
The ACSAT-X10W is an integrated RF transceiver, designed for Xband satellite communication systems and 70/140 MHz IF band. The
ACSAT-X10W is consisting of a RF Up Converter with a RF Down
Converter. This equipment has been tested and calibrated
between -40º and +60ºC, so they assure very good gain stability
with temperature. It also includes a temperature alarm and power
supply shutdown to protect the amplifier from permanent damages
when temperature exceeds 80ºC. Moreover, ACSAT-X series allows
RS-232 or RS-485 communication for monitoring alarms, gain control, operating temperature, etc.
