The main function of the frequency extension radio front-end is the
frequency conversion between the radiated (RF) and digitally

The universal structure is based on a triple-conversion heterodyne
frequency translator with some receive and transmit channels with
independent or phase coherent common local synthesizers and
embedded controller.

Performance of the local synthesizers
The local frequency
synthesizers of our tuners
are optimized for wide
tinning bandwidth for fast
frequency changing
Typical frequency settling
