2015-59 Upconverter, 5.85 - 6.425 GHz

The 2015-59 Upconverter converts 70 ± 18 MHz to 5.85 to 6.425 GHz in 125 kHz steps with low group delay and flat frequency response. Synthesized local oscillators (LO) provide low phase noise and ± 0.01 ppm stability frequency selection. Push button switches select the RF frequency, gain, and other parameters. Front panel LEDs provide indication of PLL alarm (red), Remote operation (yellow) or the TX carrier is Muted (yellow). Variable attenuators for the IF input and RF output provide a gain range of 0 to +20 dB as adjusted by the front panel pushbutton switches. Remote operation allows selection of frequency and gain. Parameter selection and frequency and gain settings appear on the LCD display. Connectors are BNC female for IF input and 10MHz reference input and output, and Type N female for the RF output (other connector configurations available). The 2015-59 is powered by a 90-260 VAC power supply and housed in a 1.75” X 19 “ X 16” rack mount chassis.
