Up/Down Converters single and dual versions

5G NR Up-Down Converter

Cover RF up to 44 GHz

Covers Most 5G Spectrums

UD Box operates from 24 to 44 GHz (RF) | 0.01 to 14 GHz (IF). It covers most 5G NR FR2 bands as well as lower broadband applications.

Save Testing Costs

Down-converting RF band to IF band can enable sub-6 test equipment to be used again for mmWave productions. Save on the cost of expensive mmWave instruments.

Prevent Path Loss

In CATR, path loss of long cables is a common issue. UD Box outputs IF enables long cable connection between the chamber and test equipment.
