SignalCore,

Today’s communication standards demand high linear performance, high dynamic range, and low noise hardware systems to ensure that the integrity of critical signal information is preserved, resulting in higher quality and faster data transmission, better image and video quality, and better voice fidelity. As more and more information channels are added to the increasingly crowded frequency spectrum, the task of ensuring channel-to-channel isolation becomes more and more challenging. Non-linearity and noise in communication systems are the primary hindrances to maintaining good channel-to-channel isolation. Designing, manufacturing, and testing high-performance communication products requires hardware that is up to the task.


Signal Sources




RF Downconverters

SignalCore signal sources are designed to meet demanding RF and microwave applications in academia, military, and commercial markets. Our broadband CW signal sources offer low phase noise performance, fast frequency locking, and fine resolution tuning, all with robust and easy to use programming interfaces.



With low phase noise, fine tuning steps, continuous broadband coverage, the ability to lock to a precision external reference source, and boasting a very high dynamic range, SignalCore Downconverters focus on preserving signal integrity for subsequent digitizing and signal processing, providing our customers with the tools they need for precise frequency translation.

RF Upconverters




Distribution Amplifiers

SignalCore RF Upconverters are designed to meet today’s demanding wireless applications. They are high performance devices that can be easily integrated into many signal generation systems. They are well suited to pair up with our RF downconverters to form transceiver pairs.



SignalCore Distribution Amplifier is designed with the primary focus of low additive or residual phase noise. Signal inputs are chassis grounded and all outputs are DC isolated. Expert attention to details like power supply suppression, signal isolation, and shielding ensure signal integrity is kept intact.
