AM9035A is a downconverter module that provides frequency coverage from 18 GHz to 44 GHz.

The downconverter provides an analog IF output centered at 4 GHz, with minimum bandwidth of 2 GHz. The connectorized module includes RF preselector filters, low-noise amplifiers, programmable attenuation, LO synthesizer, power conditioning, and FPGA control. The internal LO synthesizer requires an external 100 MHz reference and can be configured to support multi-channel coherent applications. Control is achieved with a single SPI interface, and power is supplied from an external 6VDC. The module includes an RF bypass path for frequencies from 20 MHz to 18 GHz. The mechanical dimensions are approximately 3.7” x 3.3” x 0.7”

The AM9035A can be used in conjunction with the AM9029 or AM9018 tuners, to support full RF frequency coverage from 20 MHz to 44 GHz. Furthermore, the AM9035A’s IF output can be digitized directly using various commercially available ultra-wideband ADCs.
