The FC1001V/00 broadband converter is a versatile building block for 60 GHz applications. It combines an up-converter and a down-converter in a single unit. Both operate independently and can thus be used for both frequency multiplexed and time multiplexed applications.
The converter has the advantage of using external LO sources, with the user having full control of phase noise and frequency selection. Frequency multipliers (x8) are integrated in both the up-converter and the down-converter. The LO injection is done at 7 GHz with +0 dBm power. Other features include: 57 to 63 GHz RF bandwidth, >1 GHz IF bandwidth and +10 dBm typical output power.
Applications include point to point or multipoint radio, EW, secure communication and measurement.
