MITEQ’s Trio Of Temptations

There are some new products newly available from MITEQ. First up is the company’s 9900 Series communications up and downconverters. These are offered in extended C- and Ku-band. The C-band models cover 5.725-6.725 and 3.4-4.2 GHz, while the Ku-band models cover 13.75-14.8 and 10.7-12.75 GHz. Phase noise, amplitude and spurious performance has been optimized to provide a transparent frequency conversion for all video and data applications. Ethernet remote capability is available as an option.




The company has also introduced an industry first with the 1/3 rack family of products. These include block upconverters, block downconverters, test loop translators and 1:1 redundant switchover units. The 1/3 rack platform provides flexible configurations for use in many earth station terminals while only using 1 RU of rack space. For a wide range of functional configurations, see the company’s applications data sheet D-339.




Then there’s the MT7100 Traveling Wave Tube Amplifier that consists of two drawers — an RF drawer and a power supply drawer — designed to fit into a standard 19” wide cabinet. This TWTA is available for C- and X-Band applications from 2.2 to 2.5kW, as well as Dual-Band (C/X) applications. Some features include an event log screen, continuous attenuator adjustment in dB, and an internal control bus consisting of high priority parallel signals and lower priority serial (RS485) bus communications. This unit can also be customized to include such options as manual override, manual attenuator, internal linearizer or block upconverter with L-Band input. Redundancy can be achieved through 1:1; 1:2 or phase combined systems—Hauppauge, New York
