Peak I/LCTR102 IF/L-Band TX/RX Signal Conditioner & Monitor

The Peak Communications I/LCTR102 is a 1U rack-mount IF/L-Band signal conditioner and monitor unit designed to provide independent level adjustment for the transmit and receive paths of professional satellite communication systems. It supports either 50–90 MHz IF or 950–2150 MHz L-Band, making it suitable for satellite earth stations, teleports, gateways, and other SATCOM infrastructure requiring precise TX/RX signal level control.

The receive path provides a single RX input with dual RX outputs, while the transmit path provides dual TX inputs with a single TX output. Both paths feature 0–31.5 dB adjustable attenuation in 0.5 dB steps and 10 dB insertion loss. Dedicated 20 dB coupled monitoring ports are provided for both RX and TX paths, allowing convenient signal monitoring and system testing. The block diagrams on page 2 illustrate the independent attenuation, splitting/combining, and coupled-monitor architecture of the RX and TX signal paths.
