VSAT Test Set

The FVSAT Tri-Band Satellite Simulator System is a cutting-edge RF testing device designed for ground station and satellite terminal validation across C-band, Ku-band, and Ka-band frequencies. It enables precise simulation and testing of satellite communication systems, ensuring reliable performance in diverse environments. The system is housed in a rugged, IP65-rated enclosure, making it suitable for both indoor and outdoor use.

Features

Multi-Band Operation

Supports C-band (5.85–6.425 GHz input / 3.625–4.20 GHz output), Ku-band (13.50–14.50 GHz input / 10.70–12.70 GHz output), and Ka-band (30.00–31.00 GHz input / 20.20–21.20 GHz output).
575 MHz (C-band) and 1000 MHz (Ku/Ka-band) instantaneous bandwidth for comprehensive testing.

High Performance

Low phase noise: -75 dBc/Hz @100 Hz, -115 dBc/Hz @1 MHz (Ka-band).
Flatness: ±2.0 dB (full band) and ±0.5 dB (any 40 MHz segment).
Antenna options: Flat panel (C-band) and horn antennas (Ku/Ka-band) with circular/linear polarization.

Robust Design

IP65-rated enclosure for weatherproof operation.
Field-replaceable modules (TLT, 10MHz reference, PSUs, CPUs) for easy maintenance.

Remote Control & Monitoring

Ethernet (RJ45) with SNMP v3 and built-in web server (HTTPS) for remote access.
Compatible with ETL TCP/IP protocol.

Flexible Power & Environmental Adaptability

24 VDC power supply with lightning protection.
Operates in -10°C to 50°C and withstands altitudes up to 10,000 ft (3000 m)
