I/Q Downconverters/Receivers
-
In-phase quadrature (I/Q) downconverters integrate an image reject mixer, a low noise amplifier, a 90° hybrid, and an LO buffer amplifier in one package. These devices are used in receiver applications to downconvert radio frequency (RF) signals to the desired intermediate frequency (IF) while ensuring low noise and high image rejection performance.

Activity Detection Unit
DG009-M1
-
Many advanced EW receivers, particularly those associated with ECM jamming systems, do not require the high resolution frequency information associated with a DFD or IFM based receiver. This is typically the case where a single pulse present within a broad frequency band is required to be detected and instantaneously down-converted to an IF band.TDS manufactures a range of Frequency Activity Detectors (FADs) also known as Activity Detection Units (ADU) which perform frequency measurement of an RF pulse and output data in as little as 15ns. The basis of these products is TDS’s ability to produce high performance broadband channelisers and integrated detectors. These devices are ideal for receivers which must operate in very high pulse density environments.

2 To 18 GHz 6 Channel Downconverter
-
Teledyne RF & Micrrowave's Six Channel 2 - 18 GHz (RF and LO) downconverter operates with an IF of ~960 MHz, providing 25 dB of RF-IF gain, and bandwidth of ~500 MHz. This downconverter operates on a single LO at -6 dBm which is amplified, split, then again amplified to each of the 6 channels. Integrated into each channel is a range extension switch, controlled by a TTL input and adding 20 dB attenuation. Noise figure is ~ 13.5 dB and output IP3 is ~+25 dBm. The downconverter is 2- sided, hermetically sealed and designed for rugged applications.
