  NSI-RF-5917 & NSI-RF-5919
DESCRIPTION

The Integrated Frequency Converters (IFC) were designed to provide a low-cost down-converter suitable for antenna measurement applications where RF cable losses are small.The IFC provides one test and one reference channel in a single rack mount enclosure.

FEATURES

  • Single-enclosure frequency converter for use with Agilent 8530A or NSI Panther receivers
  • Frequency coverage of 750 MHz to 4.0 GHz (5917) and 500 MHz to 8.0 GHz (5919) options to 20 GHz
  • Built-in coupler for reference signal
  • Sensitivity of -115 dBm when used with Agilent 8530A
  • Dynamic range 93 dB
  • Low cost
