mmW Frequency Extenders

The FE-3820 Frequency Extender is designed for use with the SMR-5550i and SMR-3822 series receivers to provide frequency coverage from 18 GHz to 40 GHz in addition to the coverage provided by the receiver.

Many existing systems can use the FE-3820 without adding switches and minor cable changes. A dedicated RF input to the FE-3820 covers 0.5 to 20 GHz. When the extended range is not selected, the 0.5 to 20 GHz signal is routed through the unit to the companion microwave tuner or receiver. This RF pass-through feature allows the FE-3820 to operate transparently with other manufacturers' equipment. Separate RF inputs accept 18-26.5 and 26.5-40 GHz, which are converted to the 2 to 18 GHz range for the companion tuner/receiver.

The LBU-2100 Low Band Upconverter is designed to extend the tuning range of a companion receiver to the 0.1 to 0.5 GHz range. The SMR-3822, SMR-5550i, and SMR-5688e receivers have the capability to interface with the LBU-2100 and extend their tuning range below 0.5 GHz to 0.1 GHz.
