March 2005 - Micro Phase Communications is proud to announce that it is supplying SAT Corporation with its new model of L-Band down converter, the MP-9301. This new converter which covers 950 MHz to 2150 MHz is an ideal match to SAT’s new digital spectrum analyzer, the SAT-DSA. A specially tailored version of software is incorporated in the MP-9301 converter delivered to SAT Corporation to provide rapid changes in settings of the MP-9301 giving the SAT-DSA digital spectrum analyzer the ability to rapidly tune across the RF spectrum of a satellite.

SAT is a worldwide supplier of automated RF signal monitoring systems for satellite and terrestrial spectrum management applications. These systems are communication systems management tools for commercial network owner/operators and telecommunications service providers to guarantee and maintain the quality of service they provide to their customers. SAT systems are installed in more than 50 countries, systems are offered in a variety of standard configurations with modular optional extra capabilities available as add-ons.

The new MP-9301 L-Band down converter with the new SAT-DSA digital spectrum analyzer is being exhibited at Satellite 2005, which is being held in The Washington Convention Center, Washington DC from March 22nd to March 25th. We invite you to visit SAT Corporation at booth 535 for further information.
