Norden Millimeter Frequency Converters
Norden Millimeter has extensive experience in design and manufacturing of frequency converter products for both the commercial and military markets. Norden understands that the vast majority of requirements for converter products involve custom design and packaging, custom LO and IF frequency selection, conversion gain and linearity requirements. To this extent, it is difficult to develop a useful line of “standard” converter products. Consequently, Norden recognizes that the majority of requirements for these products will be per individual customer specifications.
Prototype Speed
Regardless, Norden can deliver prototype converter products for customer evaluation in typically a few weeks after receipt of purchase order, using circuits and modules from our standard library. Norden will work closely with our customers once a design and specifications are finalized, in order to insure that our approach provides the customer with best possible value. In the event that larger quantities of converter products are needed, Norden will investigate the usage of MMICs and soft board construction to simplify assembly and reduce recurring costs.
Custom/Military Needs Addressed
Norden’s military converters are typically used in ELINT, ECM, ESM and RADAR systems that operate in a harsh environment. Special dual channel units are available that provide phase and gain tracking between the two channels. Norden’s commercial converters are typically used in microwave communications systems where there is a critical need for high linearity. Whatever the customer requirement, Norden can design and deliver a frequency converter that will fulfill the specifications.
Custom Configurations
Norden’s highly integrated down converters can incorporate an LNA on the RF input port, frequency multiplication on the LO port, AGC, image rejection mixers and IF amplification. Norden’s integrated up converters can incorporate frequency multiplication on the LO port, power output control, output detectors, internal power amplification, and highly linear operation.
