Frequency Block Converter (FBC)

Farran Technology offers the FBC series of down converters for use as  frequency extenders for noise figure measurement test systems. The  FBC-FB-XX is a fullband system can be built upon an Keysight N8975A  Noise Figure Analyzer (NFA) or X Series Signal Analyzer with option  N9069A.  This system allows the user to extend the frequency range of  the NFA to allow for accurate noise figure measurements to be performed  on a device covering Ka, U, V, E, W bands (26.5-110 GHz), when used with  an Agilent E8247C signal generator (or equivalent).
