PDL 070D
PDL 140D

Quintech’s PDL Series Single Channel Per Carrier (SCPC) L-band down converters feature highly improved phase noise and stability performance that exceeds the IESS 308/309 standard, and are suitable for all current high-speed data transmission rates and advanced digital modulation schemes. They are frequently used in test loop translator applications and any application where it is necessary to convert between intermediate frequency and an L-Band frequency.
