Product Description
Narda Miteq DN-3BU-1 Test Translator
Description:
Test Translator (often referred to as a test loop translator) is used in satellite earth stations and communications laboratories. It takes an uplink signal (such as a Ku-band or Ka-band frequency) and translates it down to a downlink frequency. This allows technicians to test transmitting and receiving equipment in a closed-loop environment without sending signals up to an actual satellite.
