A member of the SPC Electronic Group

SPCA would like to be your service depot for products manufactured overseas. This is no initial cost to establish. We are a cost effective means to repair your products within North America. Our services include:

  • Fault diagnosis
  • Component level repair
  • Module exchange
  • Environmental testing chambers
  • ESD controlled environment
  • Standard 10 day turn around time
  • Repair report

We are available upon your request to prepare a non-disclosure agreement which outlines confidential material between SPCA and your company for protection of proprietary information.

Our service staff has over 10 years experience in repairing C and Ku Band BUCs and ODUs. We also repair all frequency ranges of LNBs in C, Ku, Ka, and X-Band.

C Band

The C band is a name given to certain portions of the electromagnetic spectrum, including wavelengths of microwaves that are used for long-distance radio telecommunications. The IEEE C-band (4 GHz to 8 GHz) – and its slight variations – contains frequency ranges that are used for many satellite communications transmissions, some Wi-Fi devices, some cordless telephones, and some weather radar systems.

Ku Band

Ku band is primarily used for satellite communications, most notably for fixed and broadcast services, and for specific applications such as NASA’s Tracking Data Relay Satellite used for both space shuttle and ISS communications. Ku band satellites are also used for backhauls and particularly for satellite from remote locations back to a television network’s studio for editing and broadcasting.

Ka Band

The Ka band (Pronounced: “Kay-Ay Band”) covers the frequencies of 26.5–40 GHz. his symbol refers to “K-above” — in other words, the band directly above the K-band. The 30/20 GHz band is used in communications satellites, uplink in either the 27.5 GHz and 31 GHz bands, and high-resolution, close-range targeting radars aboard military airplanes. Some frequencies in this radio band are used for vehicle speed detection by law enforcement.

X-Band

X band is used in radar applications including continuous-wave, pulsed, single-polarization, dual-polarization, synthetic aperture radar, and phased arrays. X band radar frequency sub-bands are used in civil, military, and government institutions for weather monitoring, air traffic control, maritime vessel traffic control, defense tracking, and vehicle speed detection for law enforcement.
