Local Oscillator (LO)
The microwave local oscillator is a crystal oscillator and frequency multiplier encapsulated in a
single enclosure. The output of the LO provides pump power to the signal upconverter. The LO
is powered by a +12 VDC power supply. The long-term frequency stability of the oscillator is 5
parts per million per year.

Upconverter Mixer
The translation from VHF to microwave frequencies takes place here. The mixer is also called
an "upper sideband upconverter". The desired output of the upconverter is a signal at a
frequency, which is the sum of the local oscillator and VHF input frequencies. The upconverter
also generates unwanted signals which have to be filtered out, among them the "lower
sideband", LO leakage, and others.

Filter Assembly
There are two filters. The group bandpass filter is tuned to pass the upper sideband. The notch
filter is tuned to attenuate the local oscillator leakage without affecting the output signal.
