ETL Systems FN-B-S6S6-24429AA – 850–3000 MHz Agile Frequency Converter

ETL Systems FN-B-S6S6-24429AA – 850–3000 MHz Agile Frequency Converter

The ETL Systems Falcon FN-B-S6S6-24429AA is an agile frequency converter with input and output tuning from 850–3000 MHz in 1 kHz steps. It supports upconversion or downconversion, with selectable 200 MHz or 400 MHz instantaneous bandwidth and nominal 0–30 dB variable conversion gain.

This hot-swappable, four-slot module uses dual-stage, non-inverting conversion and requires a compatible GENUS chassis. Local and remote monitoring and control are provided through the selected chassis.
