The YTTEK TrueUDC mmWave Up/Down Converter delivers a robust, two-way frequency conversion solution for 26/28 GHz 5G mmWave and Ka-band LEO applications. With two IF inputs, two IF outputs, and two mmWave I/O ports, it supports 5G mmWave dual-polarization transmissions within a 2.6 GHz – 5.8 GHz IF range. This ensures broad compatibility with various IF transceivers, providing flexibility for advanced system designs.
The TrueUDC delivers outstanding frequency drift of under 5 ppb, ensuring the highest precision and stability for demanding RF R&D. Poor performance can cause interference with adjacent frequency bands and increase modulation errors, measured by EVM.
Fully compatible with YTTEK’s PluSDR platform, the TrueUDC enables 5G NR mmWave signal transmission and reception for antenna array testing, beam measurement, and signaling tests, ensuring streamlined configuration and reliable performance.
TrueUDC is engineered to address comprehensive testing and R&D requirements in cutting-edge wireless communication systems.
Designed to streamline non-signaling tests, TrueUDC ensures precise performance validation of 5G mmWave Radio Units (RU) and Customer Premises Equipment (CPE). This enables manufacturers and developers to evaluate RF performance, verify hardware stability, and optimize device efficiency without requiring active network connections.
TrueUDC supports accurate beamforming measurement, allowing developers to analyze and optimize the performance of 5G mmWave beam steering and tracking. Its high measurement fidelity ensures that users can capture critical data for improving signal coverage and network reliability in high-frequency environments.
With its capability to test and validate 5G mmWave backhaul links, TrueUDC facilitates the deployment of high-speed, low-latency backhaul connections. This ensures stable and robust data transmission for next-generation networks, supporting seamless communication between base stations and the core network.
TrueUDC also supports research and development for Ka-band Low Earth Orbit (LEO) satellite communication systems. Its advanced features enable testing of high-frequency satellite links, assisting in the creation of reliable and efficient satellite-based networks for global connectivity solutions.
