Using the 1705A for Satellite Communication

The 1705A has two separate inputs, one, the L--BandInput, is specifically

designed to work with LNB down converters,which have an output signal range

of 0.95 to 1.80 GHz. This provides a meansof looking at the signals from either

Ku or C--Bandsatellites. The second input is identified as 70 MHz andaccepts

signals from 45 to 100 MHz. Thissecond input is primarily designed to work

with the IF frequencyof an exciter, but can also be used to look at signals in the

low VHF television band and theF M broadcastband up to 100 MHz.
