New VertexRSI Units in L, C and Ku Band Are Fully Backward Compatible and Replaces Existing UCS(B) and DCS(B) Line of Frequency Converters


VertexRSI is offering its newly updated Single-Band (L-, C-, and Ku-Band) Synthesized Up and Down Frequency Converters to SATCOM customers.

Gabe Vitorla, Vice President of Sales for VertexRSI’s electronic products, said, “Our new SCR-Series of Synthesized Frequency Converters will replace our existing line of L, C and Ku-Band up/Down Converters. The SCR line is fully backward compatible with our existing UCS(B)/DCS(B) line of Synthesized Frequency Converters and also operates seamlessly with the Company’s 1:1 through 1:8 STARswitch™ Redundancy Controllers.”

Last time buy orders for the company’s traditional line of UCS(B) and DCS(B) converters are being taken between now and February 18th for delivery on or before March 31st.

Vitorla also states; “The SCR series of frequency converters have improved performance and a user friendly one-rack unit design with standard interface connections to give the SATCOM ground station operator greater flexibility in configuring their system architecture. Ease of maintenance and troubleshooting is another added benefit,” Vitorla said.

Each Frequency Band is available in the following configurations:

L-Band UC:	RF Frequency:	950 – 1950 MHz,	IF Frequency 70 or 140 MHz
L-Band DC:	RF Frequency:	950 – 1950 MHz,	IF Frequency 70 or 140 MHz
C-Band UC:	RF Frequency:	5.850 – 6.725 GHz,	IF Frequency 70 or 140 MHz
C-Band DC:	RF Frequency:	3.400 – 4.200 GHz,	IF Frequency 70 or 140 MHz
Ku-Band UC:	RF Frequency:	13.75 – 14.50 GHz	IF Frequency 70 or 140 MHz
Ku-Band DC:	RF Frequency:	10.70 – 12.75 GHz	IF Frequency 70 or 140 MHz
