Design of a Miniaturized Up-Down Converter Module

Abstract

This paper mainly describes the design of a miniaturized up-down converter module for Ku-band, and the key technical index requirements such as gain, gain flatness and automatic gain control (AGC) of the up-down converter module are analyzed. In this paper, the scheme is designed and optimized, and the module is implemented by hardware which has the characteristics of ultra-wideband, high integration, and good spurious and harmonic wave suppression by using the micro package technology and the low temperature co-Fired ceramic (LTCC) process.
