MODEL 3116-T71 Multi-Band, Block Translator
1.0 General
1.1 Equipment Description
The 3116-T71 Translator converts one of four input RF bands to one of four output RF bands in seven different
translations. Front panel LEDs provide indication of DC Power, Remote, Mute and PLL Alarm. The RF to RF
gain is +20 dB, maximum. Connectors are SMA female for the RF out, RF in and RF in Monitor and BNC
female for the external reference input and reference output. In AUTO, the 10 MHz reference switches to
internal when the external is below +1 dBm. Gain, band, LO frequency and internal 10 MHz frequency are
controlled by the Ethernet M&C or the Monitor/Control connector. The 3116-T71 is powered by a 100-240
±10% VAC power supply and is in a 1.75” X 19” X 19” rack mount chassis.
