ThinkRF D2030 27-30GHz RF Downconverter

The compact ThinkRF D2030 RF Downconverter, engineered to work seamlessly with existing spectrum analysis equipment by down-converting RF signals from the 27-30GHz frequency bands down to an intermediate frequency (IF) of 3.55GHz or 5.6GHz. The D2030 RF Downconverter works with existing test equipment, RF signal detectors, and interfaces, which also minimizes user training requirements.

This RF downconverter features 10MHz input and output clock references for multi-unit synchronization. As 5G mobile and wireless communication technologies continue to draw on wider bandwidths and higher frequencies, users can run multiple D2030 units in parallel to monitor, detect, and analyze these signals at a lower cost and without replacing their current investment in RF signal detectors.

Measuring 7.5’’ x 8.5’’ x 1’’ and weighing less than 2lbs, the compact D2030 is portable, versatile, and easy to use for 5G analysis in any deployment scenario without adding significant size, weight, and power (SWaP) requirements. The input power requirement of +12 VDC at 6W allows it to be used with an external battery, a vehicle power outlet, or a standard wall-mount power supply.

• Extends the range of existing RF signal detectors and spectrum analyzers to 27-30GHz bands
• Real-Time Bandwidth (RTBW) up to 160MHz
• High IF output at 3.55GHz or 5.6GHz
• Open software platform works seamlessly with common spectrum analysis solutions
• SCPI remote control via Ethernet Increased performance at a lower cost - uses existing instrument solutions
• Compact, portable, for many deployment applications

In the lab, field, or on the manufacturing floor, the ability to measure high frequency 5G signals is becoming a necessity, but many existing spectrum analyzers and test equipment are limited with the historical low frequency ranges, unable to measure the frequency bands of the future. The ThinkRF D2030 RF Downconverter is designed to extend the range of these existing analyzers and 3G/4G test equipment to offer 5G analysis capabilities.  The Model D2030 is a powerful yet economical solution for 5G signal investigation.
