Spirent Vertex High Frequency Converter

Enabling channel emulation for 5G applications

The Vertex High Frequency Converter (HFC) was developed to bring advanced channel emulation test capabilities to 5G applications by extending the Vertex channel emulator frequency range from radio frequency (RF) bands to higher mmWave frequency bands. Depending on the model, the Vertex HFC converts RF ranges between
0.75GHz and 6GHz to mmWave (mmW) ranges between 5.9GHz and 40.5GHz and vice versa, allowing channel
characteristic simulation in millimeter band scenarios required for 5G implementation. It can also be customized to support other mmW frequencies.
