UT-200A/C

USB ISDB-T/Tb Modulator/Demodulator

50–950 MHz (UT-200AJH/CH also 1200–1350 MHz)

USB based modulator/demodulator with support for ARIB STD-B31 ISDB-T/ABNT NBR 15601 ISDB-Tb transmission and reception. Powered from the USB bus, so no external power adapter is required, and modulation/demodulation is fully in hardware with no host CPU computation required.

50–950 MHz · 6/7/8 MHz bandwidth · ISDB-T / ISDB-Tb
