RF downconverter/tuner for test and measurement in electronic warfare (EW) and SIGINT introduced by ThinkRF

KANATA, Ontario – ThinkRF Corp. in Kanata, Ontario is introducing the D4000 RF downconverter/tuner to enable engineers to analyze new 5G wireless signals quickly and reliably by extending the range of their existing RF test equipment.

The ThinkRF D4000 RF downconverter/tuner offers 24 to 40 GHz frequency, 500 MHz real-time bandwidth, and 100 kHz tuning resolution for applications such as interference hunting, electronic warfare (EW), signals intelligence (SIGINT), spectrum monitoring, RF drive test, transmission test, and customer premise equipment test.

The 40 GHz downconverter/tuner offers a frequency range of 24 to 40 GHz with up to 500 MHz of real-time bandwidth to capture millimeter wave 5G signals. The compact plug-and-play ThinkRF downconverter/tuner enables users to upgrade their existing field, lab, and manufacturing test equipment.

The test and measurement instrument is built on software-defined radio (SDR) technologies to extend the frequency range of existing RF signal analyzers from any vendor.

The D4000's built-in preselect filtering eliminates out-of-band signals and enables spurious mitigation. The calibrated single IF output eases the integration of the D4000 with spectrum analyzers or receivers.

The built-in local oscillators remove the need for external synthesizers. The open platform also works with current spectrum analysis solutions through standard SCPI control over Ethernet to enable the user to control the unit through the spectrum analyzer or PC.

The D4000's multi-unit synchronization capability helps users run several units in parallel to coordinate a compound signal monitoring system -- particularly for wideband signal monitoring and capture.
