Converter Translates 18 To 40 GHz

Nov. 24, 2010

Model SYS0216N01R-LNB is a millimeter-wave dual-channel block converter from MITEQ that covers two bands for a total frequency range of 18 to 40 GHz. One channel downconverts inputs from 18 to 26 GHz to an output-frequency range of 8 to 16 GHz, and the second channel translates 26 to 40 GHz to 2-to-16-GHz output frequencies. This compact unit measures 2.5 x 3.0 in. and is available with optional local oscillators (LOs). The unit employs LO multipliers to facilitate the use of lower frequency microwave LOs. It is ideal for broadband millimeter-wave receivers in electronic-warfare (EW) and electronic-countermeasures (ECM) systems.
