0.8-18GHz RF up/Down Converter Module for Broadcast Link and Satcom. Integrated Up and Down Conversion: a single 0.8-18 GHz module covers up-conversion (0 dBm Tx) and down-conversion (37-43 dB Rx gain), replacing two separate boards. Switchable IF Bandwidth: select 0.2 GHz narrowband for high selectivity or 2 GHz wideband via SPI - one module fits two configurations. 10W Survivability and Detection: withstands 10 W continuous-wave RF input without damage, with a built-in analog detector (0.3-1.2 V) for signal monitoring. Dual Digital Attenuation Paths: Tx 0-31 dB (1 dB step) plus fixed 32 dB pad; Rx RF 0-31 dB and IF 0-20 dB for precise level control. Internal/External Reference Switchable: onboard 100 MHz reference output (<= -150 dBc/Hz @1kHz) or external 100 MHz input, with 24-bit SPI control and switched-filter bank.
