The 2015-02 L-band
Upconverter converts 70 ± 18 MHz to 950 to 2150 MHz in 1 MHz steps (125 kHz to
1 kHz step options available). Synthesized local oscillators (LO) provide
frequency selection. 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) and TX carrier MUTE (yellow). Variable
attenuators for the IF input and output provide a gain range of -10 to +30 dB
as adjusted by the front panel 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 or +48 VDC and 10
MHz reference can be inserted on the RF line as added options. The external 10
MHz option E includes a 10 MHz output
connector which contains
either the internal
or external 10 MHz reference
signal.
