Downconverter
Downconverter is designed to convert signals from L-band to 70 MHz IF for further signal processing on this IF. It is used in satellite communication systems of L, S, C, X and Ku bands.

Downconverter from L-band to 70 MHz IF is a basic chassis on which are located: frequency converter module, controller board and indicator.
There is applied variable 30dB step attenuator in the radio frequency path for adjusting the gain of the downconverter.
KEY FEATURES:
- The frequency converter module is downconverter with a double frequency conversion (L / 2400 MHz / 70 MHz).
- The signal in the receiver part passes through three stages of filtration.
- The structure of the unit, in addition to the frequency converter module, also includes network switching power supplies (AC/DC-converters).
- The parameters of the downconverter can be controlled using buttons which are located on the front panel.
- The set parameters can be seen using LCD on the front panel.
- In the presence of unlock in the PLL circuits of the converter module, the red LED "ALARM" on the front panel will be ON.
- The downconverter can be mounted in standard 19" rack. The height of downconverter is 1U.
MAIN FUNCTIONS:
- Frequencies converting into L-band when operating in the satellite communication and television L, S, C, X and Ku-bands systems to the standard 70 MHz IF signal for further processing on this IF.
- Monitoring and signaling the presence of unlock in the PLL circuits of the converter module.
- The gain factor adjusting using variable step attenuator with control depth of 30 dB.
