4W KA/K XCVR RX

QUAD BAND
Fully Integrated with Gilat VSATs
and Ka Antenna Series

4W PN: AN8053
The model presented hereunder is approved for operation with Gilat SE-IIc VSATs and Antennas.

This XCVR is of high quality & performance, offering the optimal cost-
effective solution for the VSAT industry market.

The 4W outdoor Transceiver include feed, polarizer and up/down Tx

and Rx converters

The Tx path receives S Band signals (1.4- 2.4GHz) from modem’s Tx

port and converts them into Ka band (29-30GHz).

The Rx path receives K band signals (17.7-20.2GHz), converts into L

Band frequencies (950- 2150MHz) and passes to Rx modem port.

The Transmit and Receive Ka/K are in circular polarization.

The Transceiver utilizes an internal PLL local Oscillators for both receive and transmit channels.

The Tx LO is synchronized using an external 10MHz reference (Provided by the modem)

(In the absence of 10MHz, Tx chain will be muted)

The Rx LO is synchronized using an internal reference.

The Transceiver requires:

At Tx coax port - 10MHz, DC power and S Band signals

At Rx coax port – 13V/18V DC power, 22KHz tone and L Band signals.

To operate Rx chain, DC injection to Tx port must be applied

The Transceiver is installed on the boom arm of a dish antenna.
