BLOCK
UPCONVERTERS
FOR INTEGRATION
IN HIGH POWER
AMPLIFIERS
Ka-Band Model
C-, X-, Ku- and
DBS-Band Models
FEATURES
• 32 dB attenuation control
• 10 MHz reference input on RF input
or external reference input connector
• Analog and RS485 remote control
• RF output power detector
• Mute for external command or
excess output power
• Extended operating temperature
• Low phase noise
This series of block upconverters are designed to be
used in place of the typical solid state pre-amplifier found
in a high power amplifier. Status and control can be ac-
complished either by discrete lines for existing controllers
or by RS485.
