Agilent / HP / Keysight 3730B
3730B Downconverter
Description
This down converter and plug in RF modules (sold separately) provide RF to IF conversion and RF test capabilities for MLAs.
The 0.7 to 14.5GHz RF range of this unit is achieved by a series of local oscillator plug ins, allowing easy tuning to the desired operating frequency.
When equipped with this unit's RF Module (sold separately) it's frequency range is 5.9 to 11.7GHz.
It has dual IF capability which allows the Down Converter to interface with single 70MHz IF or dual 70/140MHz IF MLAs, or with wideband demodulators when white noise loading.
A tracking AFC and recovered sweep facility causes the local oscillator in this unit to track the incoming swept RF signal, thus almost eliminating the swept component of the IF signal.
This feature is particularly useful in wideband applications.
