  • Distribution network amplifier for satellite and terrestrial range in Kathrein satellite IF distribution system 4 x satellite IF
  • Five amplifiers (4 x Sat IF and 1 x terrestrial range) are housed in one cabinet
  • High modulation stability of the amplifier trains
  • High decoupling between the amplifier trains
  • BK suitability of the terrestrial amplifier train by GaAs output stage
  • For indoor installation
  • Stepwise adjustable attenuation controls (1-dB step) for the satellite and terrestrial ranges (all satellite branches are adjusted simultaneously)
  • Stepwise adjustable pre-equalization (2/4/6 dB) in the satellite range (all satellite branches are adjusted simultaneously)
  • The power supply of the VWS 2551 and LNB supply is done by remote supply from the multi-switch, e.g. EXR 2508, via the satellite branch “horizontal low”.
  • The VWS 2551 can also be optionally powered via the DC connection with the NCF 18 power supply unit (not included in the scope of delivery)
  • When power is supplied via the DC connector, only the amplifier itself is supplied, but not the LNB power supply
  • Kathrein Power Saving: In systems that support Kathrein Power Saving (KPS), the LNB supply is switched off as soon as no receiver is in operation.
