DGRF-8800Rx+ / DGRF-8800Rx

0.2 – 8.8 GHz Receiver Front End with Optional Continuous Wave Output

Simplified block diagram of the DGRF8800-Rx+ Receiver Front End with added CW output

General Description:

The DGRF-8800Rx+/DGRF-8800Rx is a receiver front end system designed to extend the frequency range of any receiver up to 8.8 GHz. The system is designed to work with reconfigurable and agile communication systems, oscilloscopes, software defined radios, satellite communications, and other test measurement equipment. The DGRF-8800Rx+/DGRF-8800Rx includes multiple features to increase ease of use and provide superior receiver performance. In addition to the DGRF-8800Rx+ being a receiver front end up to 8.8 GHz, the DGRF-8800Rx+ can also provides a Continuous Wave (CW) output whose output can range from 35 MHz to 8.8 GHz. The DGRF-8800Rx does not have the CW output option, however, its receiver performance is identical to that of the DGRF-8800Rx+

Notable Features:

  • Receiver RF Frequency Range: 0.2 – 8.8 GHz
  • Receiver IF Frequency Range: 10 – 110 MHz
  • Maximum Instantaneous Bandwidth (IBW): 100 MHz
  • Average Receiver Conversion Gain: 40 dB
  • Average Receiver Noise Figure (NF): 3.9 dB
  • Integrated 8.8 GHz LNA at the RF input with 20 dB gain and 1.5 dB NF
  • Integrated IF amplifier with 30 dB of gain
  • 1 ppm TXO reference for frequency stability
  • CW Frequency Range: 35 MHz – 8.8 GHz1
  • Average CW output power of 10 dBm1
