Function Description
The Transceiver is designed for use in communication systems, or in satellite uplink data
systems, for the reception of SCPC, DAMA, and TDMA communication signals. It also
can be used in communications system applications with full transponder HDTV and
analog TV. The RF operating frequency range is as follows:
Upconverter section
7900 to 8400
Downconverter section

This transceiver provides an upconverted ouput used to drive an external SSPA or
TWTA. The down conversion side of the transceiver operates the same as the higher
power versions of the same XSAT. The converter is environmentally sealed and is
designed to be hard mounted on or near the antenna structure.
CAUTION
The downconverter RF input connector is wired to supply DC voltage to an
LNA. This voltage is capable of damaging any test equipment connected to
the connector. Do not connect test equipment to the connector without a
coaxial DC block between the connector and the test equipment.
