3116-145-1600 Block Downconverter, 14.58-15.42 GHz to 1.18-2.02 GHz

The 3116-145-1600 Block Downconverter converts 14.58 - 15.42 GHz (Fc =15.0 GHz) to 1.18 - 2.02 GHz (1600 ± 420 MHz) with low phase noise and flat frequency response. Frequency translation is via a 13.40 GHz local oscillator. The gain is +35 ± 2 dB maximum and is adjustable in 0.5 ± 0.5 dB steps. Front panel LEDs provide indication of Remote operation, PLL Alarm and DC Power. Gain and internal/external/Auto reference frequency selection are controlled by front panel switches or remote selection (via RS 232C, standard; Ethernet Optional) and are viewable on the LCD Display. Connectors are SMA female for the RF and BNC female for the L-Band and external reference input and reference output. In AUTO, the 10 MHz reference stays in external if the external level is +3 dBm, ±3 dB. The 3116 is powered by a 100-240 ± 10% VAC power supply, and housed in a 1 3/4” X 19 “ X 14” rack mount chassis.
