February 17, 2021 - Lotus Communication Systems, a manufacturer of connectorized, cascadable RF and microwave components, has introduced the BUDC2G14G, which is a software defined block up/down converter. It has an RF frequency range of 2 GHz to 14 GHz and an IF frequency range of 500 MHz to 6 GHz. An integrated low phase noise LO supports LO frequencies from 1 GHz to 12 GHz.

The BUDC2G14G has 8 dB of conversion loss at 5.8 GHz with low LO-RF leakage <30 dBm. It can be powered either by USB-C or +5~6 V at the terminal terminal with only 235 mA of current draw. Dimensions are 2.8125" (2-7/8") x 1.3125" (1-5/16") x 0.48".

The converter has broad applications and can be used to extend spectrum analyzer measurement range to 14 GHz. SKU#: AK20−001B.
