Cross Technologies 2017-35 Up+Downconverter, 70 MHz .95-1.5 GHz, 70 MHz 2.0-2.5 GHz Data Sheet

Below you will find brief information for RF Up/Downconverter 2017-35 Up/Downconverter. The 2017-35 RF Up/Downconverter converts 950-1525 MHz to 70 MHz (Down) and 70 MHz to 2.0-2.5 GHz (Up) in 1 MHz steps with low group delay and flat frequency response. Synthesized local oscillators (LO) provide frequency selection. Multi-function push button switches select the RF frequency, gain, and other parameters. Front panel LEDs provide indication of DC power (green), PLL alarm for up and downconverters (red), remote operation (yellow), and Upconverter mute (yellow). Gain is manually controlled over a –10 to +30 dB range for the upconverter and over a 0 to +50 dB range for the downconverter as adjusted by the front panel multi-function push-button switches. Remote operation allows selection of frequency and gain. Parameter selection and frequency and gain settings appear on the LCD display. Connectors are BNC female for IF and the optional external reference input and output, and BNC female for RF. A high stability (±0.01ppm) option is also available. It is powered by a 100-240 ± 10% VAC power supply and housed in a 1.75” X 19” X 16” 1RU chassis.

Frequently Answers and Questions

What is frequency conversion and what does it do?

Frequency conversion is a process that shifts a signal's frequency to a different one. This is accomplished through a process called mixing, where two signals are combined and the output signal contains components at the sum and difference frequencies. In the case of the 2017-35 Up/Downconverter, the input signal is mixed with a reference signal to produce an output signal at a different frequency. This is useful for applications such as transceivers, where the signal needs to be shifted to a different frequency for transmission and reception.

What are synthesized local oscillators (LO) used for?

Synthesized local oscillators (LO) provide a highly stable and accurate frequency reference for the mixing process. The LO's frequency is precisely controlled, which allows for accurate frequency conversion. In this specific application, it allows for precise selection of the output frequency.

What is the purpose of the multi-function push button switches?

The multi-function push button switches allow for manual selection of various parameters, including frequency, gain, and other settings. These switches provide a user-friendly interface for controlling the device's operation.

What is the range of the gain adjustment for the upconverter and downconverter?

The gain adjustment for the upconverter ranges from -10 dB to +30 dB, while the downconverter gain can be adjusted from 0 dB to +50 dB.

How is the remote operation controlled?

Remote operation allows for the selection of frequency and gain through an RS232C interface. This allows for control of the device from a remote location, enabling applications such as automated testing or system integration.

What types of connectors are used for the input and output signals?

The RF input and output signals are connected using BNC female connectors. Additionally, the device uses BNC female connectors for the IF signal and for the optional external reference input and output.

What is the power requirement for the 2017-35 Up/Downconverter?

The 2017-35 Up/Downconverter requires a 100-240 ± 10% VAC power supply with a frequency range of 47-63 Hz. The device has a maximum power consumption of 45 watts.
