Considerations for Band 6 Cartridge

Operating over 4-12 GHz IF Band

Description:
This document describes that the Band 6 specifications could be met over the 4.5 to 11

GHz IF band. However, is there any plan to modify the mixer-preamp to shift the IF

frequency coverage for production cartridges?
Suggested Solution:

Noise Performance and Image Band

Rejection

Description:
6-10 GHz IF bandwidth is not 4-8 GHz.
Suggested Solution:
Although 4-12 GHz IF bandwidth is attractive, the performance at frequencies below 6 GHz

should be improved to have a consistency with the other bands (4-8GHz). Is it possible to

redesign the IF amplifier to have better performance at lower frequencies?

Polarization Isolation

Description:
Measured polarization isolations are higher than the specification.
Suggested Solution:
Since the optics seems simple and theoretical simulations showed good performance, the

cross polarization should meet the specification, if the optical components were well

fabricated. Please check errors in the measurement system, e.g., linearity of the mixer.

Measurements using a conventional Schottky diode mixer may help to solve the problem.

Band 6 design Report Originator: Stephane Claude Date: 2007-09-11

Description:
The IF band for most cartridges is 4-8GHz. For Band 9 it is 4-12GHz. How is handled the

6-10 GHz from Band 6? Does the backend need a special bandpass filter?
Suggested Solution:
