ARDD-KuL - Advantech

PB-RC200-01IS0 9001 certifiedARDD-KuLKu-Band/L-BandDual Down-ConverterFeatures• Converts two Ku-Band (10.95 –12.75 GHz, different models) signals to L-Band (950-1700MHz)• Phase-locked reference oscillator linked with other ARDD units for fail-safe operation• Fully meets IESS 308/309 Phase/Noise requirements• Compact design fits in 1 RU• 1:12 redundant switching operation (with an Advantech 1:12 switching controller)• Optional built-in 1:1 redundant operation (Two Ku –input and one L-band output)• CE MarkingADVANTECH’s ARDD is constructed in a compact 1 RU shelf which houses two power supply units, two block downconverters,reference source and reference switching. The built-in power supply delivers the necessary voltages and currentfor operation under all operating conditions. Cooling is provided through conduction from the heat generating elements tothe case and removal by the cooling fan. The ARDD accepts two inputs at Ku-Band and provides one L-Band output foreach input. The ARDD is used in conjunction with L-Band demodulators or a Dual Demodulator for reception of multiplesatellite signals.Reference frequency from the internal source is used to lock the oscillators in the two down-converters. An externalreference input allows the system to operate from an external source and includes circuitry to switch to the external source.For 1:1 redundant operation, an optional built-in redundant switch unit will automatically select one block down-converterto output L-band signal.The status of each block downconverter in the shelf is indicated by an LED on the front panel.ORDERING INFORMATIONA complete model number for ordering consists of a basic number followed by option codes, as follows:ARDD-KuL-SARDD-KuL-RTwo separate block down-converterBuilt-in 1:1 Ku to L-band block down-converterAdvantech AMT, Inc.• Headquarters: 657 Orly Avenue, Dorval, H9P 1G1, CanadaTel: +1 514 420 0045 • Fax: +1 514 420 0073, E-mail: Sales@advantechAMT.comEuropean Operations: SPL-ACT wireless Europe Ltd., An Advantech AMT Company • 4A Edison Road, St. Ives, Huntingdon, Cambridgeshire PE27 3LF, UKTel: +44 1480 357 600 • Fax: +44 1480 357 601, E-mail: Sales.Europe@advantechAMT.comAmerica’s Operations: SPL-ACT wireless U.S., Inc., An Advantech AMT Company • 4710 E.
