The ALP10500/ALP10500N from Actox is a Ku-Band PLL Low Noise Block (LNB) that converts input frequencies from 10.95-11.7 GHz (RF) to 950-1700 MHz (IF). It provides an output P1dB of more than 0 dBm with a conversion gain of 60 dB, and a noise figure of less than 0.8 dB. This PLL LNB has a stability +/-500 KHz and a gain flatness of less than 3 dB p-p. It has a phase noise of 75 dBc/Hz (at 10 kHz offset) and an image rejection of more than 40 dBc.
The ALP10500/ALP10500N requires a DC supply from 15 to 24 V and consumes less than 150 mA of current. It is available in a compact module that measures 101.8 x 44.6 x 42.0 mm and has an “F” or “N” type IF connector with a WR-75 grooved waveguide RF interface.
