MODEL 2015-05 Upconverter

1.0 General

1.1 Equipment Description

The 2015-05 L-band Upconverter converts 140 ± 36 MHz to 950 to 1525 MHz in 1 MHz steps with low group

delay and flat frequency response. Synthesized local oscillators (LO) provide frequency selection. Multi-

function 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) or the TX carrier is Muted

(yellow). Variable attenuators for the IF input and output provide a gain range of -10 to +30 dB as adjusted by

the front panel multi-function pushbutton 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 input and the optional 10 MHz external reference input and output (option -E), and type F (female) for

the RF output. The 10 MHz option includes a 10 MHz output connector which contains either the internal or

external 10 MHz reference signal. Table 2.2 shows other connector options. The 2015-05 is powered by a 100-

240 ±10% VAC power supply and is contained in a 1 3/4” X 19 “ X 16” rack mount chassis.

1.4 Use Information

A.Elevated operating ambient temperature - if installed in a closed or multi-unit rack assembly,

the operating ambient temperature of the rack may be greater than room ambient temperature.

Therefore, consideration should be given to Tmra.

B. Reduced air flow - Installation of the equipment in a rack should be such that the amount of air flow

required for safe operation of the equipment is not compromised. Additional space between unit

may be required.

C. Mechanical loading - Mounting of equipment in a rack should be such that a hazardous condition

does not exist due to uneven weight distribution.

D. Circuit Overloading - Consideration should be given to the connection of the equipment to the supply

circuit and the effect that overloading of circuits could have on over current protection and supply wiring.

Appropriate consideration of equipment name plate rating should be used, when addressing this concern.

E. Reliable Earthing - Reliable earthing of rack-mounted equipment should be maintained. Particular

attention should be given to supply connections other than direct connection to the Branch

(use of power strips).

F. Top Cover - There are no servicable parts inside the product so, the Top Cover should not be removed.

If the Top Cover is removed the ground strap and associated screw MUST BE RE-INSTALLED

prior to Top Cover screw replacement. FAILURE TO DO this may cause INGRESS and/or EGRESS

emission problems.

2.0 Installation

2.1 Mechanical

The 2015-05 consists of one RF/Controller PCB housed in a 1 RU (1 3/4 inch high) by 16 inch deep chassis. A

switching, ± 12, +24, +5 VDC power supply provides power for the assemblies. The 2015-05 can be secured to

a rack using the 4 holes on the front panel. Figure 2.0 shows how the 2015-05 is assembled.
