3015-1820 Upconverter, 70 ±18 MHz to 18.2-20.2 GHz in 125 kHz steps

The 3015-1820 Upconverter converts 70 ± 18 MHz to 18.2 to 20.2 GHz in 125 kHz steps (1 kHz opt- X1008). This unit combines a 70 MHz to 3.45 GHz upconverter with an agile block upconverter to obtain the wide tuning range. Synthesized local oscillators (LO) provide frequency selection. Multi-function 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 (yellow). Variable attenuators for the IF input and output provide a gain range of -5 to +20 dB as adjusted by the front panel multi-function 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 external 10MHz reference input and output, and 2.92 mm (female) for the RF output. The unit is powered by a 100-240 ±10% VAC power supply, and housed in a 1 3/4” X 19” X 18” rack mount chassis.
