Multiband Downconverter L-, C-, X- and Ku-Band

This synthesized quadband downconverter operates in the L, C, X and Ku communication bands. An internal microwave synthesizer provides frequency tuning in 125 kHz or 1 kHz minimum frequency steps over the RF band. Local control is with a front panel keyboard and remote control is by RS485 input command. Up to 32 discrete frequency and attenuation settings may be programmed into a nonvolatile memory. Level control is available via the front panel keyboard or the remote control interface.
