The TSA-219099 from Teledyne Microwave Solutions is a VPX Downconverter that converts an input RF frequency from 24 - 40 GHz to an output frequency (IF) from 2 - 18 GHz. It provides a gain of 20 dB, has an image rejection of -40 dBc, and has a noise figure of 9 dB. This downconverter has spurious levels of -80 dBc and phase noise of -135 dBc/Hz at a 10 MHz offset. It has built-in LO generation and utilizes open systems-compliant architecture to ensure long operational life and enhanced interoperability. This converter is designed to expand the spectrum coverage of wireless systems using a single slot and provides a high dynamic range. It consumes less than 24 W of power.
The TSA-219099 is available in a 3U rack-mount enclosure and includes an RS-422 control interface. It is ideal for airborne, shipboard, and radar applications.
