Unit Description

The TLTR3100 remote mounted Test Loop Translator from Peak Communications are designed to be fully
compatible with a wide range of equipment, to provide a monitor path from the output of the SHF amplifier.
These high grade units are designed to accept the signal at SHF and provide a further conversion to the
appropriate output band.
The TLTR3100 are designed to operate over a wide range of SHF power level inputs. The internal con­
struction of the unit is modular which gives some flexibility in accommodating customers' requirements such as
gain and frequency. The unit is powered from the Power / Alarms / Remote connector (see section 1.4).
The incoming RF is passed to the mixer which is fed with an LO which is in turn referenced from an
internally fitted OCXO. At all stages the components have isolators and attenuators to ensure correct matching
is maintained. The receive band signal is then passed out to the RF Out connector with no filtering unless this
has been specified.
The TLTR3100 units are not fitted with amplifiers as standard and have a through loss of 20dB nominal.
Maximum input power with no damage is standard at +15dBm with a non compressed signal level of above
5dB nominal.
The TLTR3100 has an electronically variable Ka­Band attenuator, with a range of 0 ­ 30 dB, and a step
size of 0.125 dB.

1.1 Specification

Please refer to the TLTR3100 datasheet for the current standard performance, or contact technical support for
specific technical enquiries.

1.2 Chassis

The unit is housed in a sealed die cast aluminium box. See Appendix A for the dimensions details.

1.3 Mounting

The unit comes with two mounting options:
Flat surface
Two small brackets are supplied for fixing of the unit to a flat surface. The brackets need to be screwed
to the unit's underside in the appropriate place.
Pole
A kit to mount the unit to a circular pole is supplied.
See Appendix A for details.
