ACST offers transceiver systems with outstanding transmitted power level in the THz range. The current offer includes a 275-315 GHz Tx/Rx able to provide up to 16 dBm transmitted power and less than 10 dB noise figure of the receiver. The IF frequency range goes from DC to 18 GHz to provide flexibility in customer application.

Different options can be proposed to adjust the system to your particular requirements and achieve maximum performance.

300 GHz Transceiver

ACST 300 GHz transceiver for FMCW radar is designed and manufactured as a bench top unit.  It takes an input signal at 11.45 GHz to 13.12 GHz to reach 275 to 315 GHz for the Tx and LO power at 137.5-157.5 GHz for the Rx. A dedicated directional coupler is used to separate the transmitter and receiver LO paths. The typical transmitting power is +14 dBm and 8.5 dB DSB noise figure receiver performance. The transceiver assembly is fixed tuned and does not require any adjustment for proper operation. A dedicated power supply is included.

Additional options can be implemented on customer request i.e. TTL modulation port, customized IF-band, horn antennas, different multiplication factor of the AMC, etc.

Application Areas:

  • True Ranging Radar Systems
  • 300 GHz CW Power Source
  • 300 GHz Heterodyne Receiver

Product Features:

  • 275 to 315 GHz Operation
  • Broad FM Bandwidth
  • High Power
  • Low Noise

 

340 GHz Transceiver

ACST 340 GHz transceiver for FMCW radar is designed and manufactured as a bench top unit.  It takes an input signal at 12.91 GHz to 14.34 GHz to reach 310 to 340 GHz for the Tx and LO power at 155-172 GHz for the Rx. A dedicated directional coupler is used to separate the transmitter and receiver LO paths. The typical transmitting power is +13 dBm and 8.5 dB DSB noise figure receiver performance. The transceiver assembly is fixed tuned and does not require any adjustment for proper operation. A dedicated power supply is included.

Additional options can be implemented on customer request i.e. TTL modulation port, customized IF-band, horn antennas, different multiplication factor of the AMC, etc.
