AUC 28 Series IF / L-Band Converter

The AUC 28 is a new, wideband cost effective series of 70 or 140 MHz to L-Band Converters. Both the Transmit and receive chains have independent synthesizers. These converters can be configured using an intuitive menu tree from a LCD front panel. They are also equipped with optional L-Band auxiliary ports both on the transmit and receive chains for integrated working with other L-Band systems. The Converters can also be configured and monitored remotely on a PC using an RS232/RS422 interface. They provide 24V DC, a very stable and low phase noise Reference of 10 MHz for the BUC and a 15V DC and the reference for LNB. The BUC and LNB can be driven with cables up to 200ft. These converters come in a standard 19 Rack of 1 RU height.

Features Extremely cost competitive Independent TX/RX synthesizers Highly Reliable Front panel control Remote control using PC Low spurious emissions meeting EN standards Very high dynamic range both for Transmit and Receive chains Extremely stable Reference oscillator Wide Transmit frequency range from 950 to 1750 MHz Wide receive frequency range from 950 to 1750 MHz Operates over -10 to +50C

Quality Assurance All Agilis IDUs are designed and manufactured according to ISO 9001 Standard.
