Anaren Balanced Modulators (up converters) Features Good carrier suppression and low VSWR Low conversion loss Good intermodulation performance Good bi-phase tracking Broadband modulation input Applications Up-convertors Double-sideband modulators Amplitude modulators Pulse modulators Current controlled attenuators Suppressed carrier systems Bi-phase modulators Digital PSK systems Electrical Specifications Balanced Modulators Microwave Modulators Description A series of balanced modulators specifically designed to provide excellent carrier suppression and low VSWR. These modulators are a companion line to the ORTHO- QUAD series of high isolation, low VSWR balanced mixers. In a typical double-sideband, balanced modulator application an RF (carrier) input and an IF (modulation) input are applied. The RF output consists of the upper (RF + IF) and lower (RF - IF) sidebands. The original RF input (carrier) is suppressed at the output. The good match of these balanced modulators is independent of the power level at any port. This minimizes the effects of reactive port terminations on intermodulation performance. In addition to their use as up-convertors, these units provide outstanding performance as bi-phase modulators for high data-rate and digital PSK systems, AM and pulse modulators, and current-controlled attenuators.

For quadraphase modulation (QPSK) the modulation input is a pair of bipolar video (IF) pulses of equal amplitude. These pulses digitally modulate the carrier phase to four discrete values: 0, 90, 180 and 270 degrees. The carrier phase state depends on the polarity of the video pulses (.e., + +,-+,, +-). The information bandwidth can be as great as 2 GHz depending on the carrier frequency. If biphase modulation (BPSK) is desired only one modulation drive is used feeding both IF ports simultaneously. A bipolar video pulse train will modulate the carrier to two discrete values: 0 and 180 degrees. The pulse polarities are +, -.

The original RF input (carrier) and the unwanted sideband are suppressed at the output. This is accomplished by using the phase cancellation method of single sideband modulation. The SSBM is constructed with two IF input ports. By changing the modulating signal from IF, to IF either the upper or the lower RF sideband can be selected. Sideband selection can, therefore, be done by IF switching between IF, and IF. Electrical Specifications Single Sideband Modulators Two types of Models are offered below. One type (Models having -DC suffix in the Model No.) is supplied with no internal IF hybrid. The user must provide a quadrature IF drive, either by using an external 90 hybrid covering covering the IF frequency of interest or by generating two equal amplitude signals differing in phase by 90. This quadrature drive can be obtained digitally or by differential phase shift networks. Approximately + 10 dBm, or +15 mA, drive is required. The other Model type (Models having -30, -60 etc., suffixes) make use of internal hybrids covering the octave IF bandwidth listed. Units are tested only at one IF frequency (band center), but will meet specifications over the entire IF octave. A single IF input of +10 dBm to +13 dBm is required. For most SSBM applications the RF input signal is 0 dBm or less and the IF signal is the high level (+ 10 dBm) switching input. These harmonics can be reduced at the expense of carrier suppression by having the RF input signal as the high level (+ 10 dBm) input. Consult the factory for more information on this technique. specifically designed to provide excellent carrier suppression and low VSWR.
