2116-14T12 Block Translator, 14.0 - 14.5 GHz to 11.7 - 12.2 GHz

The 2116-14T12 Block Translator converts 14.0 - 14.5 GHz to 11.7 - 12.2 GHz with a local oscillator at 2.3 GHz. Front panel LEDs provide indication of external 10 MHz (yellow), PLL alarm (red), and DC power (green). The gain is -30 dB to Output #1 and -50 to

Output #2. Connectors are SMA female for RF and BNC female for the external reference input and reference output. A three-way switch controls which 10 MHz reference is being used. In the INT position, the internal reference is used, in the EXT position, the external reference is used, and in the AUTO position, the internal reference is used unless a +3 dBm ± 3 dB, 10MHz reference signal is connected to the external reference input. The 2116 is powered by a 100-240 ±10% VAC power supply, and housed in a

1 3/4” X 19” X 14” rack mount chassis.
