Analog Devices Inc. ADL5960 10MHz to 20GHz Network Analyzer Front End
Analog Devices ADL5960 10MHz to 20GHz Network Analyzer Front End is a compact, high-performance vector network analyzer front end. Analog Devices ADL5960 includes a bidirectional resistive bridge, downconversion mixers, programmable IF amplifiers and filters, and a versatile local oscillator (LO) interface. With over 14dB of directivity up to 17GHz, it ensures accurate measurements. The RFIN to RFOUT transmission line is wideband matched to 50Ω, with minimal loss of 1.1dB at low frequencies and 1.8dB at 20GHz.
