DWC8VM1 MTCA.4 Downconverter/Vector Modulator RTM

The DWC8VM1 is an eight channel downconverter/one channel vector modulator MTCA.4 RTM that was developed at DESY and is build by Struck under license of DESY.

The frequency range of the DWC8VM1 standard unit is complemented on the lower side by the DWC8VM1LF and on the higher end by the DWC8VM1HF (see parameter table below).
