ADRF6780 6 GHz to 24 GHz Wideband Upconverter
The ADRF6780 is a silicon germanium (SiGe) design, wideband, microwave upconverter optimized for point to point microwave radio designs operating in the 5.9 GHz to 23.6 GHz frequency
range.
The upconverter offers two modes of frequency translation. The
device is capable of direct conversion to radio frequency (RF) from baseband I/Q input signals, as well as single sideband (SSB)
upconversion from a real intermediate frequency (IF) input
carrier frequency. The baseband inputs are high impedance and
are generally terminated off chip with 100 Ω differential back
terminations. The baseband I/Q input path can be disabled and
a modulated real IF signal anywhere from 0.8 GHz to 3.5 GHz
can fed into the IF input path and upconverted to 5.9 GHz to 23.6 GHz while suppressing the unwanted sideband by typically
better than 25 dBc. The serial port interface (SPI) allows
tweaking of the quadrature phase adjustment to allow optimum sideband suppression. In addition, the SPI interface allows
powering down the output power detector to reduce power consumption when power monitoring is not necessary.
The ADRF6780 upconverter comes in a compact, thermally
enhanced, 5 mm × 5 mm LFCSP package. The ADRF6780
operates over the −40°C to +85°C temperature range.
