Downconverter

  • Description
  • Downloads

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.
