450 Dual Channel Subcarrier System

 
The 450 is a dual channel, synthesized FM subcarrier system for narrow band multi-channel applications above a video signal with low distortion and flat frequency response. Frequency from 1 MHz to 9.99 MHz, subcarrier "off", and compandor "in/out" settings appear on the front panel LCD display. The 450's 3:1 compandor provides >85 dB dynamic range and threshold extension allows receiving signals under severe fades. With companding disabled, the 450 is a standard subcarrier system with 75 usec or J17 emphasis networks. Connection to video is via a passive directional coupler which does not load the video signal.
