3016-0004 Downconverter, 0.15-4.0 GHz to 70 ±20 MHz

The 3016-0004 Downconverter converts 0.15 to 4.0 GHz to 70 ±20 MHz in 1 MHz steps (125kHz, 100kHz, 1kHz, optional) with +0 dB gain. The 0.15 to 4 GHz is first converted to 6.0 GHz with an agile, high side LO upconverter to obtain the wide tuning range and then to 70 MHz. Synthesized local oscillators (LO) provide frequency selection. Multi-function switches select the RF frequency and other parameters. Front panel LEDs provide indication of DC power (green), PLL alarm (red), and remote operation (yellow). Remote operation allows selection of frequency. Parameter selection and frequency settings appear on the LCD display. Connectors are BNC (female) for IF and external 10MHz reference input and output, and SMA (female) for the RF input. 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.
