Frequency Converters & Frequency Multipliers
Micro-Con has a vast amount of experience designing highly reliable broadband frequency converters and multipliers for military as
well as high-end commercial applications. Our converters are typically complex devices that included integral amplification, filtering, synthesized
LOs, BIT oscillators, log video output level detection, and micro-processor controlled temperature compensation. Micro-Con’s converters and multipliers
utilize the optimal technologies available for the specific frequency range and performance required for each individual application. From 100MHz to
40GHz, narrowband or broadband, Micro-Con will create a converter or multiplier design to meet your needs.
