SignalCore Announces Release of Brand New 26.5 GHz RF Downconverter

AUSTIN, Texas - Nov. 13, 2018 - PRLog -- SignalCore is pleased to announce the release of the brand new 26.5 GHz RF Downconverter.

The SC5318A is a C to K broadband single-stage downconverter, converting frequencies from 6 GHz to 26.5 GHz down to 50 MHz to 3 GHz. The LO frequency range is from 6 to 26.5 GHz with an input LO range from 6 to 14 GHz. An internal frequency doubler multiplies the input LO range up to 26.5 GHz. This module also features an internal 26.5 GHz synthesized LO, RF preamplifier, and variable gain control, making it a standalone module.

The SC5318A can be combined with SignalCore's SC5308A to form a broadband 100 kHz to 26.5 GHz downconverter. These high-performance converter modules are compact and rugged, built for easy integration into large systems.

With the option for an external LO signal, the SC5318A may be configured for SISO applications, or paired together for MIMO applications such as ground-based satellite communications, point-to-point radio, and test instrument systems.
