Last Time Buy Deadline Draws Near for VertexRSI UCS(B) and DCS(B) Synthesized Frequency Converters

VertexRSI is rolling out its newly updated Single-Band (L, C and Ku-Band) SCR Synthesized Up/Down Frequency Converters.

The new SCR converters will replace the company’s traditional line of UCS(B) and DCS(B) converters. Last time buy orders for the UCS(B) and DCS(B) converters are being taken up to Friday, February 18 for delivery on or before March 31st. More information on the last time buy offer may be obtained by contacting Gabe Vitorla, Vice President of Sales for Vertex RSI’s Electronic Products at 973-627-5981 x236 or via e-mail at gabe.vitorla@tripointglobal.com.

VertexRSI’s new SCR converters are fully backward compatible with the UCS(B) and DCS(B) converters and also operate seamlessly with the Company’s 1:1 through 1:8 STARswitch™ Redundancy Controllers.

Vitorla said, “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.”

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
