MODEL 2016-26 Downconverter

1.0 General

1.1 Equipment Description

The 2016-26 Downconverter converts 2000 to 2500 MHz to 140 ± 36 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 and gain. Front panel LEDs provide indication of DC

power (green), remote operation (yellow), and PLL alarm (red). Variable attenuators for the RF input provide a

gain range of 0 to +50 dB as adjusted by the front panel multi-function pushbutton switches. Frequency and

gain settings appear on the LCD display. Connectors are BNC female for RF, IF and optional 10 MHz Input and

Output signals (option E). The unit is powered by a 100-240 ±10% VAC power supply, and housed in a 1 3/4”

X 19“ X 16” rack mount chassis.

2.0 Installation

2.1 Mechanical

The 2016-26 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 2016-26 can be

secured to a rack using the 4 holes on the front panel. Figure 2.1 shows how the 2016-26 is assembled.

Option W1 Level Detector - Provides 0 to +5 VDC level indication for -60 to -30 dBm 140 MHz output.

The DC voltage comes out on pin 8 of the DB9 connector, J10, with pin 5 being ground. The impedance of

the 0 to +5 VDC level indication signal is 1k. The relation between the change in output level and the

change in DC voltage is linear.
