AND "SELECTABLE" KU BAND BUC FREQUENCY RANGES
The Norsat 3000 Series C Band PLL is used worldwide in commercial applications requiring stability and reliability. With the popular 1ppm (+/-5KHz) specification already fulfilling many stringent local oscillator stability requirements, Norsat has now taken this a step further by introducing the latest additions with stability options 0.8ppm, (+/-4 KHz), 0.6ppm (+/-3 KHz), and 0.4ppm (+/-2 KHz). These additions to the series will provide the very best performance for applications in this area. Along with the 8000 Series Digital DRO, available with standard 3.4-4.2 GHz, 3.7-4.2 GHz, and 4.5-4.8 GHz frequencies, and the new series of BPF-C band pass filters, Norsat continues to provide the C Band market place with quality products to meet market demands.
Norsat's fully extended band 13.75 -14.5 MHz and standard 14.0 -14.5 MHz, 4W and 8W Ku Band BUCs (Block Up Converters) now come "selectable", enabling customers to switch the unit to either frequency band. As a result of this flexibility, customers no longer have to worry about stocking two different frequency units if there is uncertainty of project requirements. Depending on customer preference, units can be changed prior to shipping by Norsat, or come with full instructions, detailing how to make this user friendly “frequency selection" at time of installation.
“These product line additions demonstrate Norsat’s commitment to continuous product innovation even in these challenging economic times,” said Dr. Amiee Chan, President and CEO. “In addition, these added options also illustrate our willingness to listen and respond to feedback from our customers to enhance our value as a trusted supplier.”
