Description
The AZ710 is a high performance frequency up converter designed for a wide
range of broadcast, telco and IP satellite applications. The AZ710 offers advanced
and unique features such as a calibrated high linearity over the entire bandwidth
combined with a very high frequency stability. These features make the AZ710 the
perfect solution for a wide range of transmissions ranging from very small carriers
to full transponder applications.
In its default configuration, the AZ710 converts IF to L-band signals. The IF input
frequency, is switchable between 70MHz and 140MHz. The L-band output
frequency ranges from 950MHz up to 1750MHz in steps of 48Hz. Optionally, the
AZ710 can be delivered with a C, Ku or DBS band with an L-band monitoring
output.
The high output frequency stability is provided by an internal 10 MHz reference
clock. For applications requiring very high frequency stability such as very low data
rate carriers, an optional reference clock of 0,01ppm can be ordered separately.
A DC power supply and a reference frequency on the L-band output are also
available as options, providing a compact and cost effective solution when the
AZ710 is used in combination with an outdoor RF up converter and/or amplifier.
The AZ710 is easy to operate and monitor. All control and monitoring parameters
are available locally on the front panel and remotely through a web interface. It is
also possible to control or monitor the AZ710 via RMCP or SNMP.
