RF & Microwave Products

Overview RF & Microwave Products:

• Down Converters

The Down Converters are designed for use in 19 inch standard rack, covering the L-, S-, C-, X-, Ku-Band. Control of the Down Converters can be both local on the front panel or by TCP/IP. At the front panel are LED’s to indicate the control and monitoring. The Output is protected with an isolator for open en short.

• Up Converters

The  Up Converters are designed for use in 19 inch standard rack, covering the L-, S-, C-, X-, Ku-Band. Control of the Up Converters can be both local on the front panel or by TCP/IP. At the front panel are LED’s to indicate the control and monitoring. Output is protected with an isolator for open en short. High stability, low ripple and excellent Phase Noise.

• Multi Couplers

The  Multi Couplers are designed for use in 19 inch standard rack, covering the L-, S-, C-, X-, Ku-Band. Control of the Multi Couplers can be both local on the front panel or by TCP/IP. At the front panel are LED’s to indicate the control and monitoring. Up to 1 Watt of no damage input power protection.

• RF Active Combiner / Splitter

The Active Combiner/Splitter is available for several frequency ranges: L-Band, S-Band, C-Band, X-Band and Ku-Band. Standard is the C-Band from 3.4-4.2GHz.  Both the Splitter and Combiner can be supplied as a 2, 4 or 8 way type with N connectors (SMA connector is optional). Input power protection up to 1 Watt. The overall gain across the band is >15dB.

• Broadband Dual PLL Synthesizer Oscillator

The Dual PLL Synthesizer Oscillator frequency ranges are respectively 2200 MHz to 2570 MHz (LO1) and 5800 MHz to 6800 MHz (LO2) with output levels of > +12 dBm. Both oscillators have a low Phase Noise level. The internal clock reference will automatically switch over in presence of an external reference. The unit has a compact shape with SMA connectors and communicates using I²C. 

• DLVA - Detector Log Video Amplifier ( 2 to 6 GHz)

The input frequency range of the DLVA is 2 GHz - 6 GHz with build-in amplifiers with gain of 33 dB and 7 dB. Separate RF and BIT input and input response from 100 ns to CW. The unit has a compact shape and uses SMA connectors and a standard 9 pin D type connector for DC and control signal.

• High Power Limiter

The High Power Limiter operates over a frequency range of 0.1 to 5.0 GHz. Maximum power handling is 2 kW (depends on both pulse-width and duty-cycle. Standard SMA connectors for input and output and optional a PIN version is available. The high power limiter has a compact shape and 4 mounting holes.

• PLDRO - Phase Locked Dielectric Resonator Oscillator

The output frequency range of the PLDRO is 6 GHz to 14 GHz with output power of +13 dBm. Reference frequency is 5 MHz to 100 MHz (optional higher reference frequency is possible). The PLDRO has an Ultra-Low Phase Noise level. Alarm level for TTL in-lock : high is lock or low is lock. The module is small size 57 x 57 x 23 mm with low power consumption. Tested for 100% burn-in and environmentally.

• IF Switch Matrix 4 x 4 - 70 MHz

This IF Switch Matrix is available in 19 inch wide and 2U high rack mountable systems. It has 4 inputs and 4 outputs. Wide band output from 70 MHz +/- 30 MHz. Up to 1 Watt of no damage input power protection. It is easily controlled and monitored remotely, using TCP/IP interface and has capability of allocating a unique IP address. The system could be easily controlled with standard software programs such as Labview, Labwindows, C, C++ etc.
