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.

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
