Abstract :
Analysis and design of a compact wideband downconverter module for EW applications are presented in this paper. Architectural and circuit solutions trade-offs are described and related to the module´s electrical and mechanical requirements and the key components characteristics. RF chain simulations and their comparison with measurements of the manufactured module are finally illustrated.
