Bandit Two-Channel Analog RF Wideband Downconverter
Eletter Product
- Accepts RF signals from 400 MHz to 4000 MHz
- Accepts RF input levels from -60 dBm to -20 dBm
- Provides baseband IF output with up to 390 MHz bandwidth
- Internal OCXO or external 10 MHz frequency reference
- Easy integration into RF systems
The Bandit® Model 7120 two-channel analog wideband downconverter accepts RF signals over the range of 400 MHz
to 4 GHz. It amplifies, filters and downconverts these signals to an IF frequency suitable for A/D conversion
by any of several Pentek digitizer products. Shown in the nearby photo with its shielding cover
removed, the Model 7120 is packaged in a shielded PMC/XMC enclosure with front panel connections
for easy integration into RF systems.
The 7120 is a powerful addition to Pentek's existing Bandit RF analog downconverter product line. With wider
RF input signal frequency coverage, wider IF output bandwidths, improved noise figure and higher
channel density, Pentek offers customers a new solution to their system requirements at an affordable price.
The 7120 accepts RF signals on two front panel SSMC connectors. Low noise amplifiers are provided
along with programmable attenuators to allow downconversion of input signals ranging from -60 dBm
to -20 dBm in steps of 0.5 dB. The Model 7120 input frequency is programmable across the 400 to
4000 MHz band with a tuning resolution of better than 100 KHz.
The internal frequency-synthesized local oscillator can be locked to an external 10 MHz reference source
for precise tuning accuracy. Alternatively, an on-board low-noise 10 MHz OCXO (oven-controlled crystal
oscillator) can be used as the frequency reference. For custom applications, an external local oscillator
signal can also be supplied.
The Model 7120 PMC/XMC module is designed for air-cooled, conduction-cooled and rugged operating
environments. It is also available as a 3U OpenVPX (Model 5220), PCIe (Model 7820), AMC (Model
5620) and 3U/6U Compact PCI (Models 7220/7320/7420).
