Transmit upconverter

ASD Technology has released the S-band transmit upconverter from Orban Microwave Products.

This unit converts an industry standard 70, 140 or 160 MHz IF signal to S-band. One or more RF filters (SAW or ceramic type depending on the requirements) reject the unwanted image and local oscillator signals.

This front end is part of a MIMO system and is 802.11g compliant. While this converter operates at S-band, similar systems have been developed for L, C, X and Ku-band.

Features include: receive converters available; full duplex converters available; available for L, S, C, X, Ku-band; wide range of IF input frequencies and bandwidths; internal or external power supplies; TCXO or OCXO onboard frequency reference; internal frequency reference output available; local oscillator can be locked to external frequency reference; standalone units or integrated in a 19" IF subsystem.
