Interface Issue: IF to DAQ board

Dear all,

I have a receiver with an IF output of 1.5GHz. I would like be able to read this IF signal from a Data Acquisition Board (ie: OMB-DAQBOARD-500 from Omega). However, IF output is an SMA mate, and the input to the IO board is single ended or differential. How can i connect them together?


Thank you for the help!

So you want to use a 200 KHz sample rate DAC to measure your 1.5 GHz IF signal, and your only concern is how to run a cable between the two?

If it were me I would tend to use one of the 16 single ended inputs, and might think about downconverting my IF signal to around 50 KHz.
