MODEL DN-14-12-UNIV UNIVERSAL Ku-BAND TEST TRANSLATOR For Communications

The translator is designed for applications where multiple Ku-band transmit-to-receive frequency translations are required. The translator is microprocessor-controlled and soft-key menu driven for rapid setup and operation. Translator parameters are selected by choosing a satellite FEATURES name or a combination of transmit, receive and translation frequencies. • Local or remote control • Minimum amplitude and delay The translator features a large backlit display, function keys distortion and a scroll knob to provide instant access to key • High frequency stability operating parameters. All operating parameters are • Low intermodulation distortion available locally or through the remote interface bus. • 30 dB input level control • Low phase noise contribution An external LO mode allows the user to provide an • Summary alarm external oscillator signal to produce nonstandard • External LO input frequency translations. In this mode any combination of input and output bands may be selected. Due to the OPTIONS uncertainties of the frequency translation in this mode, MITEQ does not guarantee all of the performance • Remote RS422, RS232 or IEEE-488 parameters. remote interface • 60 dB total input level control Software upgrades and revisions to include new • Higher frequency stability are available through an integrated PCMCIA memory card. • External reference input SPECIFICATIONS

OPTIONS

1. 30 dB additional input level control. 60 dB input level control in 1.0 dB steps. 10. Higher frequency stability reference. A. ±1 x 10-8, 0 to 50°C, 5 x 10-9/day typical (fixed temperature after 24 hour on time). B. ±5 x 10-9, 0 to 50°C, 1 x 10-9/day typical (fixed temperature after 24 hour on time). C. ±2 x 10-9, 0 to 50°C, 1 x 10-9/day typical (fixed temperature after 24 hour on time). 17. Remote control. A. RS422 remote interface. B. RS485 remote interface (supplied as standard). C. RS232 remote interface. F. IEEE-488 remote interface. 23. Reference configuration. A. No internal 5 MHz reference is provided. A rear panel BNC female connector is provided for external 5 MHz input (+4 ±3 dBm). B. An internal 5 MHz reference is provided. The internal 5 MHz reference is brought out of and back into the rear panel with a “U link” coaxial cable (BNC connectors). This allows, after “U link” removal, insertion of an external 5 MHz reference input (+4 ±3 dBm). C. Internal/external reference selection. An SPDT switch is used to select either the internal 5 MHz reference or an external 5 MHz reference. External 5 MHz reference input is through a rear panel BNC female connector (+4 ±3 dBm). Reference selection is controlled from a rear panel toggle switch. D. Automatic reference switchover. An internal 5 MHz reference and rear panel connector for external reference input (+4 ±3 dBm) is provided. The converter oscillators will lock to the external reference. If external reference is not present, the converter oscillators will automatically lock to the internal reference. E. 5/10 MHz automatic reference switchover. A type BNC female connector for external 5 MHz or 10 MHz input (+4 ±3 dBm) is provided. If external reference is below +1 dBm nominal, the converter will automatically lock to the internal reference. 24. 10 MHz reference frequency.
