Up Down Converter
 
     
 
 

Configuration:-

These Up and Down Converter Modules (to be integrated between modem and Ka band RFT for sitcom application) shall be independent units in modular form. Also a BPF at CF 50 MHz is required at up converter input and down converter out put port respectively with specifications given below.

There are two inputs (50 and 70 MHz) for up converter and two outputs for down converter. They should be mechanical switch able.

One of the down converter output that is 50 MHz and up converter input that is 50 MHz

Is to have a narrow band filter at the 50 MHz output port with following:-

Specifications of 50 MHz BPF

Center Frequency 50MHz
Bandwidth (1dB) + (-) 7MHz
Bandwidth (3dB) + (-) 8MHz
Bandwidth (45dB) + (-) 15MHz
   
Mechanical interface
Signal interface port

SMA female for both up & down converter Input output port

Synthesizer frequency control

Three wire control; D type connector to be Provided.

Ref. port

For 10MHz+ (-) 3 dBm ref. output port Should be SMA (F)

Power supply port

Feed Through integrated with line filter Compliance to Mil Space 461Eor D

Size

200 mm (L) * 75mm (W) *40mm (H)
(Typical for both up on down converter)
Volume should not be more than this
Given Sizes however dimensional Variation
In length width & height may be accepted.
