The VHCD-KuKuT / VSCD-KuKuT from WORK Microwave is a Block Downconverter that has an input RF frequency range of 10.7-12.75 GHz and an intermediate frequency of 2140/2150 MHz. This Ku-band downconverter has a frequency resolution of 100 Hz and a phase noise of up to -110 dBc/Hz. It has an impedance of 50 Ohms and an input/output return loss greater than 20 dB. The block downconverter has an operational input level of -45 dBm and a 1 dB compression point of grater than 10-13 dBm. It has an image rejection of greater than 80 dB and a noise figure less than 12 dB. The downconverter requires an input supply of 100-240 V AC and has a power consumption of 35 W. It supports remote control through RS232, RS422/485 (2-wire or 4-wire) interfaces, Ethernet supporting TCP/IP command interface, Web browser interface, and SNMP. The converter features automatic reference recognition and an adjustable gain equalizer. It weighs 8.4 Kg (Indoor housing) and measures 483 x 44 x 505 mm (Indoor housing). The converter is designed to support the demanding requirements of modern satellite transmission applications and is ideal for systems where an accurate phase relationship is required between two converter channels, as in the case for monopulse tracking system down conversion.
