SMW Ka BDC 17.30-22.30 GHz 1 Band

Ka-Band Singleband Block Downconverter (BDC)

Precision Reception for Targeted Ka-Band Applications

The Ka-Band Singleband BDC is the ideal solution when reception is required for a single sub-band within the 17.30 to 22.30 GHz frequency range. Designed for flexibility, it can be easily combined with a Low Noise Amplifier (LNA) or integrated into systems that already include an LNA.

For enhanced system management, the optional SMW Monitoring & Control (M&C) interface allows multiple units to be connected in a Modbus RTU RS485 network, enabling centralized Alarm, Monitoring, and Control functionality.
