F1d - IQ Demodulator


Description

The F1d module is an IQ demodulator ranging from 40 MHz to 1.4 GHz. It was initially designed for reflectometry and to be used in conjuction with the S5i RF source and the M2j low noise amplifier. F1d block diagram

For users requiring RF and LO frequencies higher than 1.3GHz, a version may be built supporting up to 4GHz of input frequencies. With this version the lowest supported frequency would increase to 400MHz.
