27 GHz Wideband Downconverters & Signal Recording Systems

Product Details

Wideband downconverters with Signatec/GaGe High Speed Digitizers, allow for complete real-time signal recording and analysis systems covering frequencies up to 27 GHz.

Featuring breakthrough frequency and bandwidth coverage for their size and cost, these downconverters are available with 3 standard or 3 optional upgrade bandwidths, covering three frequency ranges from 100 kHz to 8 GHz, 18 GHz, or 27 GHz.

They feature bandwidths of 100 MHz (standard) or 160 MHz (optional) direct conversion (0 Hz IF) I and Q analog outputs and can be software configured for super-heterodyne mode with a bandwidth of either 40 MHz or 10 MHz (standard) on a single IF output centered at 35 MHz IF, or with a bandwidth of either 80 MHz (optional) on a single IF output centered at 55 MHz IF. The front-end processing blocks utilize up to 24 pre-select filters to mitigate input-related spurs and image responses.

Frequency domain signal analysis of the downconverter baseband output signals is done with the DynamicSignals Spectrum Analyzer program, SpectraScopeRT, supporting integrated digitizer and downconverter control, zoom amplitude and frequency display, cursors, and waveform signal storage/printing.

These solutions greatly extend the digitizers frequency range, and allow those developing applications in Surveillance, Signal Intelligence, Radar, EW, and R&D high performance, lower cost platforms for complex wideband RF and microwave signal analysis.
