Satellite Communication Trainer Manufacturer,Supplier and Exporter in India
Product Code : SCL-CE-12486
Indian Lab Suppliers supplies this Satellite Communication Trainer (Product ID: 12486), part of the Communication Equipment range under Laboratory equipment, a fully-specified 3-station (uplink transmitter, satellite link and downlink receiver) trainer operating on 2400–2600 MHz with a complete accessory set.
Note on naming: our catalog also carries another product with the identical name Satellite Communication Trainer (Product ID 12374), which is a different product from this one — 12374 operates on a narrower 2414/2450–2468 MHz range (the two figures in its own source disagree, as flagged on that page), has a USB PC interface, and states a 35 m indoor/100 m outdoor coverage figure and a 2-year warranty, none of which appear in this unit's specification; this unit (12486) instead operates across the wider 2400–2600 MHz band, is built around a PIC16F84 processor with no PC interface mentioned, and comes with a fully itemized Uplink Transmitter, Satellite Link (transponder) and Downlink Receiver specification plus a detailed accessories list. Two further, differently-architected products in this range are also worth distinguishing: our Satellite Communication Trainer Kit (Product ID 12361, 5740–5880 MHz, RS232, light/temperature telemetry) and our Satellite Trainer (Product ID 12373, emulation-based path-loss/frequency-translation architecture on 4 channels in the 5.8 GHz band with a video link and polarization study). Please confirm the exact unit with our team before ordering, quoting Product ID 12486.
Quick Answer
This Satellite Communication Trainer gives an in-depth, hands-on look at basic satellite communication techniques and concepts. It consists of an Uplink Transmitter, a Satellite Link (transponder) and a Downlink Receiver, all of which can be placed conveniently in the laboratory — the satellite section can be positioned at an elevated point if needed. The transponder receives the uplinked signal and retransmits it at a different frequency to the downlink receiver. Uplink and downlink frequencies are selectable, and the system carries three signals simultaneously — video, audio/voice/tone and data — along with broadband digital/analog data or function-generator waveforms. An operating manual covers the basic theory and a glossary of satellite communication terms, and the trainer supports a large number of experiments.
