The kit contains all the items required to convert a standard model 1400-MR or a MRA receiver to a 1400-WB or a WBA wideband configuration for telemetry applications including RPV-TV. The kit is designed for user installation and consists of the five internal replacement plug-in assemblies are as follows: A18-WB 2nd Mixer, A10-WB VFO/Multiplier, A17-WB Reference Oscillator, A19-WB 1st IF Filter, A9-WB IF Distribution/AM Detector, A11-WB Video Filter Module. Wideband PM Demodulator w/Video De-Emphasis Switch, P/N 1448-WB. The 1448-WB FM Demodulator is designed for use with the Microdyne wideband telemetry receiver. The demodulator is a wideband discriminator which accepts a 70 MHz input and provides a video output a deviation meter drive voltage. The 1448-WB provides wideband FM demodulation over the full range of second IF bandwidths. Wideband Filter, Selectable Bandwidths from: 5, 10, 15, 20, 25, 30, 36, 40 MHz Dual Bandwidth P/N 1420-WB. IF bandwidths from 5 MHz to 40 MHz are available in this series. Their function is to establish and amplify the 70 MHz second IF in the receiver; each filter exhibits a phase linearity of + -- degrees over 100% of the -3 dB bandwidth. RF Turner w/1435-1540 and 2185-2485 MHz Tuning Range P/N 14414. The 1400 series RF Tuners are designed as front panel plug-in units for use in the 1400-MR Telemetry Receiver. They are designed as single and dual band tuners and utilize two local oscillator signals to down convert a wide variety of RF input signals.
