3116-137 Block Downconverter, 13.75-14.5 GHz to 0.95-1.7 GHz

The 3116-137 Downconverter converts 13.75 - 14.50 GHz to 0.95 - 1.7 GHz with low phase noise and flat frequency response. Frequency translation is via a 12.80 GHz local oscillator. The gain is +35 dB maximum and is adjustable in 1 dB steps. Front panel LEDs provide indication of Remote operation, PLL Alarm and DC Power. Gain and internal/external/Auto reference frequency selection are controlled by front panel switches or remote selection (via RS 232C, standard; Ethernet Optional) and are viewable on the LCD Display. Connectors are SMA female for the RF and BNC female for the L-Band and external reference input and reference output. In AUTO, the 10 MHz reference switches to internal when the external is below 0 dBm ± 1 dB. The 3116 is powered by a 100-240 ± 10% VAC power supply, and housed in a 1 3/4” X 19 “ X 14” rack mount chassis.
