Up/Down Converters (FCE)

5G Testing Made Easy — Compliant with 3GPP Release 17

Farran’s FCE Series Communication Extenders are high-performance up/down converter systems designed for 5G test and measurement applications. The FCE-V-TR-0001 model enables precise evaluation of devices operating within the full 24.5 – 52.6 GHz 5G mmWave band, fully compliant with 3GPP Release 17 specifications.

This single, electronically tunable (across the entire 24.5–52.6 GHz range) transmit/receive module supports connectorized and over-the-air (OTA) testing — ideal for benchtop, on-wafer, and channel sounding setups. Developed to fill a critical gap in the market, it supports testing of advanced modulation schemes (e.g., QAM) and full carrier bandwidths.

What customers are saying

Testimonials and reviews from our customers
As a test engineer my role is to ensure that new designs, as well as established products, are measured with the utmost accuracy. Over the years, Farran’s FEV extenders have delivered unparalleled dynamic range and long-term stability of the measurements without the need for frequent calibrations. They can be easily configured with wide range of our VNAs and are seamlessly controlled via the VNAs user interface. Great customer support and direct access to Farran’s engineers, coupled with the FEV performance and their reliability, make my job simple and stress-free.
Principal Test Engineer European Radar & Sensor Testing Enterprise
As a manager of the R&D group, we needed to pivot to mm-wave frequency for our new development plan. Our existing test equipment required upgrading and after an extensive search, we found Farran’s FEV range of extenders to be the best solution for our needs. We had direct communications with all the relevant Farran personnel from the outset and were able to get real time feedback and support for the many questions we had prior to purchase. Overall, Farran’s FEV range is the perfect solution to our R&D mm-wave requirements.
