ELECTRONICALLY TUNABLE UP-CONVERTER.
Abstract
The design of an electronically tunable microwave filter is presented. The device is an upper-sideband up-converter which is tuned by varying the pump frequency so that the output frequency is constant. The input frequency band is from 500 MHz to 1000 MHz; the pump frequency band is from 7.237 GHz to 7.737 GHz; and the output frequency is at 8.237 GHz. A matching network is described which minimizes the pump power required for suitable operation. The measured maximum and minimum values of gain of the device across the 500-MHz tuning range are 2.0 dB and 0.6 dB respectively and the pump power is 30 milliwatts maximum. (Author)
