The UDB-D/-S from TMYTEK is an RF Up/Downconverter with an RF frequency from 24 to 44 GHz and an IF frequency from 0.01 to 14 GHz. It has an adjustable LO frequency from 24 to 44 GHz and a conversion loss of 13 dB. This converter provides an IF to RF isolation of 70 dB (with filter) and an RF to IF isolation of more than 46 dB (with filter). It works with third-party test equipment, RF spectrum analyzers, software-defined radios, and interfaces. The converter can be used to upgrade most sub-6 GHz instruments makign them ideal for 5G production testing. It is ideal for 5G NR mmWave (n257 – n260) and satellite Ka/Q-band applications. This up/down converter requires a DC supply of 15 V and consumes less than 24 W of power.
The UDB-D/-S includes 10 MHz output clock references to support clock synchronization with external modules. It also supports the synchronization of multiple UD Box 5Gs using the built-in 100 MHz synchronization feature. This RF Up/Down Converter can be controlled using Ethernet and uses in-house designed GUI and API to provide extensive control of LO frequencies as well as channels and reference ON/OFF functions in one unified view. It is available in an enclosure that measures 150 x 120 x 65 mm with 2.4 mm connectors and is an ideal 5G-NR development tool for wireless equipment OEMs, telecom carriers, and baseband researchers.
