Input Frequency Range: 27500 - 31000MHz Output Frequency Range: 17700 - 21200MHz
The ALT series of Ka Band Test Loop Translators (TLTs) are designed to replace the satellite link for test and alignment of earth station systems operating in the Ka frequency bands.
Incorporating fundamental frequency phase locked oscillators and double balanced mixers, the translators block convert frequencies from uplink to either downlink or L-Band for instantaneous monitoring of frequency, power levels and modulation.
The input path contains a front panel controlled continuously variable attenuator for reducing input power levels.
Each unit also provides a reference frequency output and LO lock alarm.
1U high x 19" wide rack mount unit.
