0.8-18GHz up Down Converter Module with RF Detector Output and Serial Control

0.8-18GHz up Down Converter Module with RF Detector Output and Serial Control. Integrated Up and Down Conversion: a single 0.8-18GHz module delivers 30dB minimum linear transmit gain (0dBm typical output) and 45dB typical receive gain, replacing two separate boards. Built-in RF Detector Output: a dedicated detector output supports transmit power monitoring and built-in self-test without an external coupler. Switchable IF Bandwidth and Reference: 0.2/1GHz selectable IF bandwidth plus internal/external reference switching for flexible synchronization with the host system. Fine 1dB Digital Attenuation: serial-controlled 0-31dB attenuators (1dB step) on both the IF and RF stages of each conversion path. 4W CW Input Survivability: the receive path withstands 4W continuous-wave input (5-minute test), protecting the front end in dense signal environments.
