Kratos General Microwave’s design solutions are tailored to meet the stringent system demands. Our Frequency Converters were designed for Low Earth Orbit (LEO) and Geostationary Earth Orbit (GEO) satellites, playing a vital role in mission-critical operations. Our products are designed to surpass the rigorous standards and requirements of space environments, combining technical innovation with operational excellence.
Product Overview
Our Downconverter and Upconverter modules are compact, high-performance solutions engineered specifically for space-grade applications. The Downconverters translate Ku/Ka-band signals to L-band, while the Upconverters perform the reverse operation, converting L-band signals to Ku/Ka-band. Each module features an internal LO oscillator that is phase-locked to an external reference, ensuring exceptional frequency stability. Converter center frequencies can be configured through one of two communication buses, providing full redundancy for mission-critical operation.
