Request a quoteThe FCS300 is Advantech's HP-range Ku-band synthesized frequency converter, offered as single or dual up and down converters in a 1RU 19-inch chassis. It is aimed at VSAT, SCPC, SNG, DVB-RCS and hub systems and is stated to outperform IESS 308/309 phase noise by 3 dB. The PLL oscillators lock to a stable internal 10 MHz reference, or automatically to an external reference when that option is fitted.
