WORK Microwave Introduces World’s First Commercial V-band Frequency Converters
Holzkirchen, Germany, Feb. 1, 2019 — WORK Microwave today announced the availability of the industry’s first V-Band frequency converters as a qualified product. The converters are available in various dimensions of outdoor housings and cover the full ITU uplink bandwidth range from 47.20 to 51.40 GHz, providing full 4 GHz of bandwidth.
