DESCRIPTION
The UPC8106T and UPC8109T are L-Band Frequency Up-
Converters manufactured using the NESAT III MMIC pro-
cess. The UPC8106T was designed for low distortion while the
UPC8109T was designed for low current consumption. Op-
eration 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 en-
sure the highest reliability and performance.
