For Demanding RF Environments
Brickwall Series Integrated
MMDS Downconverters
N
ow MMDS system designers and engineers can improve system
performance with a product designed to operate in the most
demanding of RF environments, while also protecting the LNA from
the inevitable introduction of new interfering services. The Brickwall
Series of MMDS downconverters uses a “filter first” approach for
pre-LNA brickwall protection against PCS, WCS, and radar services.
Unwanted interfering carriers are filtered out before they reach the
first amplifier stage in the circuit, preventing the amplifier from being
overdriven and allowing use in areas previously not available. The
Hi_Q interdigital style filter offers superior discrimination at the
lowest insertion loss.
Brickwall series integrated MMDS downconverters are directly
matched to an antenna, allowing full RF integration. The antennas
are either Andrew Corporation’s Mag Grid or Microceptor Series of
S-band products. The downconverters are compatible to multiple
modulation schemes, including 256 QAM, and are available in a
variety of amplifier gains.
