Ku dual band low noise block downconverter
The MFC146 supports Ku band VSAT applications such as in-flight entertainment systems and UAV communications, and is built to withstand challenging airborne environments, with all SMT construction and sealed parts with no open die.
IF outputs for the two bands are 950 to 1950 MHz and 1100 to 1250 MHz, with overall gain of 18 to 22 dB, maximum noise figure (NF) of 13.5 dB (<9 dB typical), better than -95 dBc/Hz phase noise performance, less than -90 dBc spurious and maximum group delay variation of ±1 ns.
DC power inputs are +7.5 VDC and ±12 VDC and a 10 MHz, -5 to +10 dBm external reference is required. The MFC146 includes digital band selection and built-in test (BIT). The unit is offered as EAR99 with no export limitations for applications worldwide.
