Overview
The Advantech Wireless HP range of dual channel converters uses the latest technology in conversion, giving two independent conversion chains in 1 RU package, local and remote control thus providing the ultimate in performance and user friendly operation at a very competitive price.
The 1RU chassis contains two hot swappable drawers (trays) designed for easy removal and replacement. Each drawer includes independent frequency converter, power supply and 10 MHz reference source modules.
The spectral purity, low phase noise and stability exceed the requirements of all major international satellite network operators.
The flexible and comprehensive monitor and control features on the HP converter ensure that it will fit into any network management system architecture. The user-friendly front panel or the RS485 remote interface will provide full set-up and fault monitoring facilities. The RS232 will provide the Monitor and Control functions via a PC and will also allow for software downloading.
The converter is fully synthesized with the PLL oscillator either locked to a highly stable internal 10 MHz reference or if the external 10 MHz reference signal with proper power level is present, the PLL will automatically lock to the external reference.
