Operating Manual - J-Band Frequency Translator and Microscan Receiver Processor
Abstract
The equipment enables an observer to determine the frequency and pulse-timing characteristics of a signal in the 16.5 to 17.0 GHz band. A tripod-mounted translator receives the RF signal and translates 16.5 - 17.0 GHz down to 5.0 - 5.5 GHz. A horn antenna on the translator provides 18 dB gain over an isotropic antenna, and a bandpass filter mounted behind the antenna limits coverage to the band specified. Two 23 dB gain, 5.6 dB noise figure tunnel-diode amplifiers in the translator may be connected or disconnected at the operator's discretion, allowing a wide dynamic range or input signal levels to be handled.
