Description
3dbm 70MDF-DAT-GLW Dual-Channel 70MHz FM Satcom Signal Modulator 19" Rack
A dual-channel 70MHz FM satcom signal modulator in 19" rack-mount form factor. This unit modulates baseband signals onto a 70MHz carrier for satellite ground station uplink applications.
Specifications & What's Included
- Model: 70MDF-DAT-GLW (70MDF-GLW / 50AT-1-2R)
- Dual-channel 70MHz FM modulator with dual RF attenuator module
- Two 3dbm 70MDF-GLW FM Modulator plug-ins and one 50AT-1-2R Dual RF Attenuator plug-in
- BNC RF connectors (Tone In, Main RF Out, Range Calib RF Out)
- DB9 RS-232 serial control interface
- IEC C14 AC power input with fuse pull
- Front panel switches: Operate/Calibrate, Equalize/Linear; rotary RF attenuators
Applications
This modulator type was deployed in satellite ground stations and satcom uplink facilities for modulating signals onto 70MHz intermediate frequency carriers. Common in telecom and data transmission systems interfacing with satellite transponders. Typically used in conjunction with upconverters and high-power amplifiers for ground-to-satellite signal transmission.
Condition: Used
This 3dbm 70MDF-DAT-GLW dual-channel 70MHz FM satcom signal modulator has been inspected and is in good condition. It was pulled from a working environment where it was in active use and functional. The chassis and all three plug-in modules — two 70MDF-GLW FM modulators and one 50AT-1-2R dual RF attenuator — are present and show normal wear consistent with field use. Front panel LED indicators, rotary attenuators, and push-button controls are all intact. Rear-panel BNC connectors, IEC AC inlets, and DB9 serial ports appear clean and undamaged. Some light surface scuffing is visible on the chassis exterior. Please view our photo set and contact us if you have any questions. Please note: We have multiple units in stock — yours may not be the one shown in the photos, however, it will be similar in condition and function.
