MODEL 2115-275-1845 Block Upconverter
1.0 General
1.1 Equipment Description
The 2115-275-1845 Block Upconverter converts 1.345 - 2.345 GHz (Fc=1845 MHz) to 27.50 - 28.50 GHz with
a local oscillator at 26.155 GHz. Front panel LEDs provide indication of DC Power, External 10 MHz, and PLL
Alarm. The gain is +20 dB. Connectors are 2.92 mm female for the RF out and BNC female for the RF in
(desgnated L-Band) and external reference input and reference output. A three-way switch controls which 10
MHz reference is being used. In the INT position, the internal reference is used, in the EXT position, the
external reference is used, and in the AUTO position, the internal reference is used unless a +3 dBm ± 3 dB,
10MHz reference signal is connected to the external reference input. It is powered by a 100-240 ± 10% VAC
power supply, and in a 1 3/4” X 19” X 14” rack mount chassis

2.0 Installation
2.1 Mechanical - The 2115-275-1845 consists of one RF PCB housed in a 1 RU (1 3/4 inch high) by 14 inch
deep chassis. A switching, ±12, +24, +5 VDC power supply provides power for the assemblies.
The 2115-275-1845 can be secured to a rack using the 4 holes on the front panel. Figure 2.0 shows how the
2115-275-1845 is assembled.
