<strong>Model</strong> <strong>9040</strong>-T(A)<br />
Versatile Frequency Converter<br />
PRODUCT DESCRIPTION<br />
The <strong>Model</strong> <strong>9040</strong>-T(A) is a synthesized frequency converter that is tunable<br />
on both the input and output in 1 kHz steps. The excellent performance<br />
characteristics of the imageless mixers make the wide tuning range<br />
possible while controlling spurious signals and maintaining tight amplitude<br />
requirements. Distortion due to group delay variations is minimized by the<br />
use of multi-section group delay equalizers. Any specifi ed input can be<br />
converted to any specifi ed output and the unit functions as an upconverter<br />
or downconverter per the selected parameters. Each unit has IF to IF, IF to<br />
Baseband, Baseband to IF and Baseband to Baseband capabilities.<br />
The unit has the capability to convert any input frequency in the range of<br />
10 KHz to 400 MHz including fi xed IF frequencies of .455/.85/1.7/6.8/8.83/<br />
10.7/13.6/21.4/27.2/70/140/160/300/400 and 1000 MHz, to any output<br />
frequency in the range of 10 kHz to 400 MHz including fi xed IF output<br />
frequencies of 3/6/10/15/20/21.4/25/30/40/50/70/140/160/300 and<br />
400 MHz. Imageless mixers are used for conversions of frequencies up<br />
to the 120 MHz band edge. The image rejecting mixers are employed to<br />
suppress undesired mixer products and to improve the signal to noise ratio<br />
by suppression of the image band. Group delay equalizers are provided<br />
for Output Center Frequencies of 3/6/10/15/20/25/30/40 and 50 MHz in the<br />
standard <strong>9040</strong>-T(A).<br />
In addition to the up/down conversion capability, it can also function as a<br />
selectable fi lter with up to thirteen bandwidths plus a bypass mode. The<br />
standard <strong>9040</strong>-T(A) contains 1/2/4/6/8/10/12/20/30/40/50/60/80 fi lters and<br />
a Bypass mode. The Bypass mode is furnished to allow extra fl exibility<br />
in situations where image rejection of 35 dB is acceptable. The signal<br />
bandwidths are determined by the selected IF fi lter. Bandwidths of ±100%<br />
of any center frequency in the tunable range can also be selected but are<br />
limited by the bandedges of each band range. When an input IF is selected,<br />
optimum performance will occur when a bandwidth that is less than the IF<br />
center frequency is selected. A built-in indicator alerts the operator when the<br />
center frequency selected is less than 1/2 the SAW fi lter’s 40 dB bandwidth.<br />
The maximum bandwidth for the 1 GHz input CF is 200 MHz. The maximum<br />
bandwidth for any other mode of operation is 80 MHz.
Quadruple Conversion is used, and<br />
the tunable synthesizers and the local<br />
oscillator are phase locked to the reference<br />
oscillator, which may be either the internal<br />
reference or an external reference<br />
provided by the user. The synthesizer<br />
allows selection in 1 kHz increments,<br />
providing excellent resolution for centering<br />
the output band. The converted signal is<br />
upright and non-inverted. The integrity of<br />
the converted data is protected by means<br />
of the SAW fi lters that exhibit excellent<br />
group delay characteristics.<br />
Several modes for frequency and<br />
bandwidth selection are available<br />
including key pad entry, Up/Down arrow<br />
key selection and a tuning knob for rapid<br />
tuning, as well as full IEEE-488 control<br />
capability. Both Input Frequency and<br />
Output Frequency as well as Bandwidth<br />
are displayed on front panel read outs.<br />
A meter is provided to display input signal<br />
level. Automatic and manual gain control<br />
is furnished with the gain mode indicator<br />
on the front panel. IEEE-488 control<br />
is by means of logical and easy to use<br />
Mnemonics, which directly and simply<br />
specify the desired function. Internal<br />
software routines perform and implement<br />
all calculations to set up the synthesizers<br />
and illegal or inconsistent combinations are<br />
rejected.<br />
The <strong>9040</strong>-T(A) is housed in a standard<br />
19” wide EIA housing. EMI/RFI integrity<br />
is assured by the design which includes<br />
gaskets, solid coaxial cables and a<br />
machined housing for critical<br />
sub-assemblies. The power line is isolated<br />
by multi-section EMI/RFI fi lters to further<br />
assure satisfactory performance in any<br />
environment.<br />
