The UPC8106T is an L-Band Frequency Up-Converter manufactured using the NESAT III MMIC process. The UPC8106T
was designed for low distortion. Operation from a 3 volt supply
voltage makes this device ideal for handheld cellular, PCN and
wireless LAN applications.
NEC's stringent quality assurance and test procedures ensure
the highest reliability and performance.
