Device Overview

The WBX is a wide bandwidth transceiver that provides up to 100 mW of output power and a noise figure of 5 dB. The LO's for the receive and transmit chains operate independently.

The WBX does not provided phase coherent operation, and therefore is not recommended for MIMO and Phased Array applications.

Key Features

  • Frequency Range: 50MHz - 2.2GHz
  • Versions: 40MHz / 120MHz
  • Power Output: 100mW
  • Noise Figure: 5dB
