KU LNC 8084 B PRO
Low Noise Downconverter
8000 ... 8450 MHz
The KU LNC 8084 B PRO is a low noise down converter for deep space communication applications.
A special feature is the 10 MHz reference frequency input at the output connector. This feature can be used to lock the internal local oscillator to an external reference frequency.
Recommended bias tee is the KU BT 3000 DIP. This module includes bias tee and a diplexer for the 10 MHz reference frequency in one case. It can be used to put the supply voltage and an external 10 MHz reference frequency on the IF cable.
