Description

AKON is a leading manufacturer of high quality converter assemblies. Model A20-MX152 covers the 1.0 - 18.0 GHz input range. Using 8 pre-mixer channels and dual conversion, the input frequency is translated to 1.0 GHz with IF bandwidths of +/- 250, +/- 125, +/- 25 and extremely narrow +/-10MHz. Log Video (SDLA’s) at 1.0 GHz and 1.0 - 18.0GHz is built-in. Capability exists for the unit to receive an external signal of 750-1250 MHz and upconvert it to 1 - 18 GHz using unique architecture. AKON is qualified to MIL-I-45208 Quality System Requirements by agencies of the U,S, Department of Defense and well as by leading foreign and domestic military OEMs. Screening to requirements of MIL-STD-883 is available. All specifications described below are over the full operating temperature.
