Catalyst ™ 40 GHz Downconverter

Catalyst-40 is setting new standards when handling mmWave signals either for measurement purposes or communications/reception applications.

The instrument employs state-of-the-art mmWave electronics to deliver exceptional RF performance. And the built-in local oscillator brings maximum simplicity to the user setup without extra external devices; Just connect the measured signal to the device RF input while connecting the IF output to your low-GHz spectrum analyzer, scanner or receiver.

The compact downconverter is ideal for field applications as well as several laboratory use-cases since the unit can be controlled via its windows application or optionally through a built-in Keypad and LCD. Additionally, for some scenarios that require using the device with one of Consultix receivers, the Catalyst-40 can be controlled from Consultix Walkview software as a single point of control/collection.
