Technical Specifications

The ADE-1 operates over a wide frequency range, typically from 0.5 MHz to 500 MHz. It has a typical conversion loss of 6.5 dB. The LO-RF isolation is typically 35 dB, and the LO-IF isolation is typically 30 dB. The input IP3 (Third-Order Intercept Point) is typically +12 dBm. The operating temperature range is -40°C to +85°C. The package is a compact surface-mount package. It requires a Local Oscillator (LO) signal, an RF (Radio Frequency) signal, and provides an IF (Intermediate Frequency) output. The impedance is typically 50 ohms for all ports.
