iDC-6830

6U VPX Dual Microwave Down Converter

The iDC-6830 is a Dual-Channel RF Converter (RFDC) packaged in a 1-inch pitch, conduction cooled, VPX circuit card assembly per VITA 48.2. Each channel divides the full RF input spectrum from 2.0GHz to 18.25 GHz into a set of eight dedicated, sub-octave IF outputs located within the frequency range of 2.0 to 6.0 GHz. 

iDC-6850

6U VPX Microwave Wideband Down Converter

The iDC-6850 8-band RFDC is a 1 inch pitch, conduction cooled, VPX circuit card assembly per VITA 48.2. The RFDC contains a full spectrum, non-blocking RF Down Conversion Module (DCM). The DCM provides RF to IF conversion, pre-selection, and gain equalization. The DCM has 3 RF input ports and 8 IF output ports. Each DCM accepts an RF input ranging from 2 GHz to 18 GHz and provides output signals over the IF frequency range of 0.75 GHz to 2.75 GHz.

iDC-6810

6U VPX Microwave Down Converter

The iDC-6810 is a Single-Channel RF Converter (RFDC) packaged in a 1-inch pitch, conduction cooled, VPX circuit card assembly per VITA 48.2. Each channel divides the full RF input spectrum from 2.0GHz to 18.25 GHz into a set of eight dedicated, sub-octave IF outputs located within the frequency range of 2.0 to 6.0 GHz.

iDC-6901

3U VPX Full Band Microwave Down-converter

The iDC-6901 represents the next generation of full band RF down-converter products offered by Intelligent RF Solutions. Building on the iDC-6800 family of 2 to 18GHz down-converters, the SOSA/CMOSS aligned iDC-6901 offers compact size (3U VPX), improved spurious performance, high dynamic range and “digitizer-ready” IF outputs placed in the second Nyquist ready for integration with a suitable digitizer card.
