Ku-band Frequency Transceiver – High-Stability RF Converter for Satellite Uplink and Downlink by UMT LLC
The Ku-band Frequency Transceiver by UMT LLC is a high-performance, dual-function RF unit that integrates both upconversion (Tx) and downconversion (Rx) into a single compact device. Designed for professional satellite communication systems, the transceiver ensures efficient and accurate signal transmission and reception within the Ku-band frequency spectrum. It is optimized for VSAT networks, broadcasting headends, mobile satellite terminals, and teleport infrastructure.
📡 Operating Frequency Ranges:
-
Receive (Rx) Frequency Range: 10.95 – 12.15 GHz
-
Transmit (Tx) Frequency Range: 13.75 – 14.50 GHz
-
Output Power at 1 dB Compression (P1dB): ≥ 2 W
These ranges are fully compliant with ITU satellite frequency allocations and ideal for two-way Ku-band satellite links in DVB-S/S2 and IP-based systems.
