2015-12 Agile L-Band Upconverter

 
The 2015-12 L-band Upconverter converts 70 ± 18 MHz to 950 to 2150 MHz in 1kHz, 10kHz, or 125kHz steps (user selectable) with low group delay and flat frequency response. Synthesized local oscillators (LO) provide very low phase noise and ±0.01 ppm stability frequency selection. Multi-function push button switches select the RF frequency, gain, and other parameters. Front panel LEDs provide indication of DC power (green), PLL alarm (red), remote operation (yellow) or the TX carrier is muted (red). Variable attenuators for the IF input and output provide a gain range of -10 to +30 dB as adjusted by the front panel multi-function push-button 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 and the optional external reference input and output, and Type F female for the RF output. SSPB +24 VDC, 2.5 Amps and 10 MHz reference can be inserted on the RF line as added options. The 10 MHz option also includes a 10 MHz output connector, which contains either the internal or external 10 MHz reference signal. The unit is powered by a 90-260 VAC power supply, and housed in a 1 3/4” X 19 “ X 16” rack mount chassis.
