AESA Modular – Advanced, Scalable Frequency Conversion for AESA Antennas

AESA Modular represents one of our most advanced developments to date—a sophisticated line of Active Electronically Scanned Array (AESA) Frequency Converter Modules engineered for seamless integration into AESA antenna systems.

With the emergence of New Space technologies and the deployment of LEO, MEO, and GEO High-Throughput Satellite (HTS) constellations, the satellite communications landscape is rapidly evolving. In this new era, AESA antennas are seen as a critical enabler of agile, high-performance connectivity—especially within the increasingly complex New Ground segment.

As a recognized provider of high-quality, high-performance, and cost-effective professional Satcom Block Downconverter products, we have leveraged our expertise to enter the AESA domain. Starting from a modular design philosophy, we’ve developed both uplink and downlink Block Frequency Converter modules specifically tailored for AESA-based architectures.

The result is a versatile family of state-of-the-art Block Downconverters (BDCs) for Ku- and Ka-Band applications—offering advanced functionality, outstanding linearity, and system-level flexibility.
