thinkRF RF D/T

Small, powerful and cost-effective downconverter / tuner for the next generation RF environment.

RF Downconverters/Tuners

Built-in Local Oscillators | Pre-Select Filtering | Single IF Output

Extend Your Frequency & Bandwidth Performance to 5G mmWave Bands

Downconverters are one of the most economical and cost-effective methods for increasing the frequency performance of RF signal analysis systems. In the new world of 5G networks, a downconverter can reduce time to market and costs for mobile operators and system integrators.

Why thinkRF RF Downconverter/Tuner is Right For You

thinkRF RF D/T have up to 500 MHz of analog bandwidth and a frequency range from 50 MHz to 40 GHz that covers the entire mm-wave frequency range for 5G FR2. The Pre-select filtering is a sophisticated RF filter technology that eliminates out-of-band signals and enables spurious mitigation. Without filtering these can result in interference within the analysis bands. thinkRF RF D/T are equipped with single IF output which enables easy integration with spectrum analyzers or receivers. Built-in local oscillators eliminates the need for external synthesizers. thinkRF RF D/T can be extended to cover lower 5G FR1 bands using other complementary thinkRF receiver products. You can synchronize multiple units to coordinate a compound signal monitoring system, particularly for wideband signal monitoring and capture.
