2015-123 Upconverter, 2025 - 2300 MHz
The 2015-123 Upconverter converts 70 ± 18 MHz to 2025 to 2300 MHz in 1kHz, 10kHz, or 125kHz steps (user selectable) with low
group delay and flat frequency response. Synthesized local oscillators (LO) provide very low phase noise and ±0.01 ppm stability
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 (red), remote operation (yellow) or the TX carrier is muted (yellow). Variable
attenuators for the IF input and output provide a gain range of -10 to +30 dB 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 Input, RF outputs and the 10MHz external reference input and 10MHz reference
output. The 10MHz reference signal (internal or external) can be sent to the 10MHz reference output connector and/or to the RF OUT
connectors. The RF signal can be switched between two RF outputs (A and B) via an integrated, remotely controlled RF switch. The
unit is powered by a 90-260 VAC power supply, and is housed in a 1 3/4” X 19 “ X 16” rack mount chassis.
