CONVERTERS

OPTIONS SUPPLIED
OPTIONS SUPPLIED
Option 1: 45 dB level control
Option 4: 140 MHz IF Frequency
Option 5: Group delay equalization
1.0 ns p-p maximum/70 ±18 MHz IF output
2.0 ns p-p maximum/140 ±36 MHz IF output
Option 8: LO level detect
Option 10B: Higher Frequency Stability Reference (see Section 1 for specifications)
Option 10C: Highest Frequency Stability Reference (see Section 1 for specifications)
Option 10E: Analog Reference Phase Lock - External 5 or 10 MHz at +4 ±3 dBm.
If external reference is below +1 dBm nominal, the converter will automatically lock to the internal
reference. Reference oscillator acts as an analog phase lock with a 0.1 Hz nominal loop bandwidth.
Typical loop suppression of the external reference is as follows: 28 dB at 1 Hz offset; 65 dB at Hz
offset and 100 dB at 100 Hz offset
Option 10F: Highest Frequency Stability with Analog Reference Phase Lock
Option 14: Front panel selectable 50/75 ohms IF impedance
Option 15: 50 Ohm IF Impedance
Option 16C: +55-61 dB gain (downconverter only)
Option 17C: RS232 Remote Interface
Option 18-4: Four IF outputs (downconverter only; not compatible with NSUN or Option 14)
Output 1 dB compression point: +10 dBm, Intermodulation distortion at 0 dBm output: 40 dBc
minimum (+20 dBm IP3)
Option 18-8: Eight IF outputs (downconverter only; not compatible with NSUN or Option 14)
Output 1 dB compression point: +10 dBm, Intermodulation distortion at 0 dBm output: 40 dBc
minimum (+20 dBm IP3)
Option 20: Selectable 70/140 MHz IF frequencies.
One IF connector provided at rear panel (BNC female). Selection of IF frequency is available from
the front panel and over the remote bus
Option TNCIF: Type TNC female IF connector and IF monitor
Option NRF: Type N female RF connector (Note: Monitor remains SMA female)
RF return loss: 18 dB, 9-15 GHz, not available above 15 GHz
Option TNCRF: Type TNC female RF connector (Note: Monitor remains SMA female)
RF return loss: 18 dB, 9-15 GHz, not available above 15 GHz
Option: 45 dB minimum gain
Option 31A: Ultra-low phase noise (See Phase Noise Specifications chart). Option 10E (analog
reference phase lock) supplied as standard and an internal reference U-link is provided (an external
10 MHz reference may be applied to the U-link). Higher frequency stability available, for details see
Option 10F.
Option 31B: Ultra-low phase noise (See Phase Noise Specifications chart). Option 10F (analog
reference phase lock) supplied as standard and an internal reference U-link is provided (an external
10 MHz reference may be applied to the U-link).
Option 31C*: 5 MHz reference only (no internal provided) at +4 ±3 dBm. For ultra-low phase noise
reference (no reference suppression) or direct reference multiplication inside 100 kHz. (See below
for formula for calculation.)
Option 31D*: 10 MHz reference only (no internal provided) at +4 ±3 dBm. For ultra-low phase noise
reference (no reference suppression) or direct reference multiplication inside 100 kHz. (See below
for formula for calculation.)
*Formula for calculation of external reference only (Option 31C or 31D): External reference phase noise required to
meet the ultra phase noise system characteristics:
(U-20log(M) -3) dBc/Hz. Where U is the ultra phase noise characteristic at a specific frequency offset for a
specific model and M is the multiplication factor of the reference frequency (5 or 10 MHz) divided into the
operational RF frequency (fo) of the model selected: M = Fo (MHz)/10 (MHz) or Fo (MHz)/5 (MHz).

GENERAL DESCRIPTION
PHYSICAL

Figure 1-2. Rear Panel, 9800 Series Converter

Figure 1-4. Rear Panel, 9800 Series with Option 31
The MITEQ converters are designed for advanced
satellite communication systems and are available for a
wide variety of frequency plans. Phase noise, amplitude
flatness and spurious outputs have been optimized to
provide the user with a transparent frequency conversion
for all video and data applications.
A strong feature set of monitor and control functions
supports the powerful local and remote control. Among
these features are control of frequency, attenuation and
sixty-four memory locations for each converter where
various setups can be stored and recalled.
A continuously updated log of time-stamped records of
activity is also provided.
FEATURES
•Expansion support for the NSU 1:N Switchover Series
•Amplitude slope adjust
•Three monitor and control ports
- Standard RS485/RS422 remote interface which can
be substituted with RS232 (Option 17C)
- RS485/RS422 auxiliary control interface which can
be configured to control an external HPA or as an
alternate remote interface
