Space Qualified, 2.4 Micron Wavelength, 4 GHz Linear AGC Balanced Optical Receiver
Description:
The DSC-R212M is a space qualified, linear AGC balanced receiver ideally suited for a variety of optical detection applications up to optical wavelengths of 2.4µm. This receiver offers a variety of user-adjustable
characteristics such as RF gain, bandwidth and frequency response, output amplitude and mode of operation (AGC or manual gain control). The DSC-R212M also offers RF bandwidth to 4 GHz, gain to 5600 V/W and low power
dissipation. The DSC-R212M is available in GPPO packaged module with differential RF outputs, as well as in Discovery¹s Lab Buddy instrument.
