4-Port and 8-Port Decimator D3

Ideal for local or remote monitoring of multiple communications or broadcast carriers in satellite, cable or terrestrial wireless networks, the 8-Port Decimator D3 is a cornerstone in the Decimator  digital spectrum analyzer product line. Available in a 1U rack-mount unit, it is small and convenient for installation in an equipment rack and connection to multiple feeds, either 50-ohm or 75-ohm. For applications requiring fewer input ports, the 4-Port Decimator D3 saves you money upfront, and is easily upgraded in the future to an 8-Port Decimator D3 should you require additional input ports. Simply pay the difference for a software upgrade. No need to purchase or install additional hardware. Both units provide a built-in Cross-Pol Isolation measurement function and Carrier Monitoring capability. Operated like a traditional spectrum analyzer, the Decimator’s browser-based user interface is intuitive, familiar, and useable right away with no training. Using the Remote Management Protocol, the 8-Port or 4-Port Decimator can be integrated into your network, RF system, VSAT Hub, Satcom terminal, or RF monitoring/measurement system.

The 4-Port Decimator D3 is also ideal as a replacement for the now obsolete Tektronix 1705 spectrum monitoring unit.
