4 Channel Down-Converter

RFE’s new cost-effective solution for block translating a 28 to 40 GHz RF signals down into the 6 to 18 GHz range with a single band giving extended frequency coverage to many existing systems. Four phased matched channels present identical channel-to-channel performance for various instrumentation and/or military applications. The down-converter features an internal low phase noise high side fixed LO and the option to accept an external phase reference. Each channel includes an activity threshold detector, all in a ruggedized compact housing.

Temperature Variable Attenuators

Smiths Interconnect Thermopad® temperature variable attenuators are a totally passive, easy to implement solution for gain compensation designed specifically for demanding high-reliability applications. The Thermopad® can be used in place of a standard chip attenuator to combine level setting or buffering and temperature compensation in a single chip design. This will reduce component count, increase reliability and lower costs. Applications include power amplifiers, mixers, MMIC amplifiers, directional couplers and diode detectors.
