PEAK COMMUNICATIONS LTD is an ISO9001 approved, UK based, privately owned company that has been manufacturing RF products for the Satcom Earth Station market since 1995 and are exhibiting at CABSat for over 10 years.
This year we will be featuring our new RCU50Rseries 1+1 and 2+1 LNB/ LNA/ BUC Outdoor Redundancy Control & Switching Unit which provides a flexible and cost-effective redundancy switch solution, minimising capex through reduced cross-site control and drive cable costs whilst improving electromagnetic antenna isolation.
The unit is compatible with most makes of BUC/ LNA/ LNB and waveguide switch items, so is ideal for legacy systems, alternatively for new installations Peak are happy to source these from most popular manufacturers.
Switching units are controlled directly via Ethernet with embedded web-page and SNMP support, rack mounted control panels can also be provided.
DC power is provided for the BUC/ LNA/ LNB units whilst current is monitored to establish correct operation and trigger automatic switch-over to the standby/ off-line unit as necessary. User settable current alarm levels are provided.
Tell-backs from waveguide switches are monitored to ensure correct positioning and operation. Reference generation, automatic external reference locking or ‘pass-through can be provided for BUC/ LNB units.

Other standard products include; synthesised (agile), fixed frequency & block frequency converters covering IF (70/140MHz), L-Band & all primary SHF frequency bands (S, C, X, Ku, DBS & Ka-Band), test-loop translators, automatic UpLink power controllers, L-Band beacon receivers, line amplifiers, active & passive splitters & combiners, multi-channel variable gain units, noise sources, reference generators & distribution, redundancy & distribution switching, LNB/ BDC/ BUC drivers (DC, reference and redundancy switching).
