Spirent - High Frequency Converter (HFC) mmWave Extension for Vertex
- • 4 Channels
Depending on the model, the Vertex HFC converts RF ranges between 0.75GHz and 6GHz to mmWave ranges between 5.9GHz and 40.5GHz and vice versa, allowing channel characteristic simulation in millimeter band scenarios required for 5G implementation.
It can also be customized to support other mmWave frequencies.
