SMW Ka BDC 17.30-22.30 GHz 2 Band

Ka-Band Dual Sub-Band Block Downconverter (BDC)

High-Performance Reception for Dual Sub-Band Ka-Band Applications

The Ka-Band 2-Band BDC is the optimal choice when you need to receive two distinct sub-bands within the 17.30 to 22.30 GHz frequency range. Designed for seamless integration, it pairs easily with a Low Noise Amplifier (LNA), whether externally sourced or already in use within your system.

For advanced system integration, the optional SMW Monitoring & Control (M&C) interface enables cascading of multiple units via a Modbus RTU RS485 network, providing centralized alarm monitoring and control.
