Peak F1201R Remote Mounted L-Band to IF Down Converter

The Peak Communications F1201R is a fixed-frequency remote mounted L-Band to IF down converter designed for professional satellite earth stations, teleports, broadcast facilities, and legacy SATCOM infrastructure. It converts a fixed 1200 MHz L-Band input to 70 MHz ±18 MHz (or optional 140 MHz ±36 MHz) IF output, providing a simple and cost-effective solution for interfacing L-Band satellite modems and transceivers with existing 70 MHz or 140 MHz equipment.

Designed for reliable outdoor operation, the F1201R features a rugged IP66 weatherproof enclosure, automatic 10 MHz external reference locking with high-stability internal backup, and compliance with IESS-306 and IESS-309 standards. The converter supports 1+1 and 2+1 redundancy configurations, making it ideal for fixed satellite ground stations requiring dependable frequency conversion and long-term operational stability.
