The 2015-75 is a generator from Cross Technologies. Upconverters allow for a signal to be converted from a lower frequency to a higher frequency. The upconverter usually has a user interface that allows the engineer to select the IF input, output, frequency, and gain.
Additional Features:
Input Characteristics (IF)
Impedance/Return Loss 75 ? /18 dB
Frequency 70 ± 18 MHz
Input Level -40 to -10 dBm
Output Characteristics (RF)
Impedance/Return Loss 75 ?/12 dB
Frequency 950 to 2150 MHz
Output level 0 to -20 dBm
Output 1 dB comp. +5 dBm
Channel Characteristics
Gain range (adjustable) -10.0 to +30.0 dB, 1 ±1 dB steps
Frequency Response ±1.5 dB, 950 - 2150 MHz; ± 0.5 dB, 36 MHz BW; ±1.0 dB, 40 MHz BW
Spurious Response < -50 dBC, in band
Group Delay, max 0.015 ns/MHz2 parabolic; 0.05 ns/MHz linear; 1 ns ripple
Frequency Sense Non-inverting
Synthesizer Characteristics
Frequency Accuracy ± 1.0 ppm max over temp (±0.01 ppm, option H)
Frequency Step 1.0 MHz (125 kHz to 1 kHz step options available)
The Cross Technologies 2015-02 L-band Upconverter converts 70 ± 18 MHz to 950 to 2150 MHz in 1 MHz steps (125 kHz to 1 kHz step options available). Synthesized local oscillators (LO) provide frequency selection. 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) and TX carrier MUTE (yellow). Variable attenuators for the IF input and output provide a gain range of -10 to +30 dB as adjusted by the front panel 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 and the optional external reference input and output, and Type F female for the RF output. SSPB +24 or +48 VDC and 10 MHz reference can be inserted on the RF line as added options. The external 10 MHz option E includes a 10 MHz output connector which contains either the internal or external 10 MHz reference signal. A high stability internal reference (option H, ±0.01ppm) is also available. It is powered by a 100-240 ± 10% VAC power supply, and housed in a 1 3/4” X 19” X 16” rack mount chassis.
