محول تردد منخفض C-Band BDC من SMW، من 3.40 إلى 4.80 جيجاهرتز
The C-Band PLL Block Down Converter (BDC) is designed for receiving C-Band signals within the 3.40 to 4.80 GHz frequency range. It offers a configurable fixed gain from 0 dB to 50 dB, set at the factory. Typically, it operates alongside an external C-band low-noise amplifier (LNA).
The RF input is provided via an SMA female connector, while the IF output delivers an inverted L-Band spectrum through N-type, F-type, or SMA connectors.
Available customization options include tailored LO frequencies, adjustable gain settings, a dedicated DC power input, and a separate port for an external 10 MHz reference signal.
