Title: Block Down converter
Post by cornel on Nov 10^th, 2014 at 9:54am

I am looking for the part number or manufacturer of a block down converter to down convert from 13-75 - 14.5 Ghz to 950-1700 Mhz (L-band). Input should be waveguide and output F-type connector. This is for monitoring purposes on TX Ku-band.

Thanks

Have a look at
https://www.smw.se/product/ku-band/pll-1314-ghz-new/

Also try searching for "loop test translator" and "test loop translator", either new or second hand.�
Companies to consider:� MITEQ, Scientific Atlanta, Novella, Sematron, Advantech etc.

There is Ku band model here:

Also one on eBay.

Check it will work down to 13.75 GHz as some only do 14-14.5 GHz.

Best regards, Eric.
