A 16-Channel Transmit, 16-Channel Receive Direct X-Band Sampling Phased Array Development Platform
Presenter: Mike Jones
Date: Tuesday, June 13
Time: 13:00 pm - 13:15pm
A 16-channel transmit, 16-channel receive phased-array development platform is leveraged for enabling RADAR, SATCOM, multi-channel communications and some electronic warfare applications. Building on the success of the Quad-MxFE Platform, this session covers how four digitizer ICs are now leveraged on a single board to improve multi-chip synchronization and system-level multichannel calibration methods often required for phased array systems. A discussion on the associated clock tree architecture is provided as well as the required power distribution network for the system. Details on the analog front-end also on the platform, which includes tunable filters, gain control and filtering is also provided to show how the digitizer IC’s hardened DSP is leveraged to correct both digital and analog channel-to-channel anomalies. Key focus areas include details about how this system is used to enable direct X-band digital beamforming using the numerically-controlled oscillators and programmable finite-impulse response filters on the platform.

Rapid Phased Array Prototyping: Crawl -> Walk -> Run
Presenter: Jon Kraft
Date: Thursday, June 15
Time: 11:45 am - 12:00 pm
We will present a seamless, lower risk, way to develop the hardware and software for a complete phased array radar (or communications) system prototype. This will be a live demonstration of how to use existing hardware and software to quickly prototype from 2, then to 8, then 16, and finally 32 elements. Each system will use the same open source software. And each “level” of the system will increase the technology readiness level (TRL) of the program. This allows rapid development of hardware or software-or even both simultaneously--at a variety of starting points.

Analog Devices and Richardson RFPD are designing .01-20GHz, small, multiport, network analyzer signal chains for industrial, portable and production test applications. .01-20GHz network analyzers are complicated, which translates to being large and expensive. ADI has released the ADL5960; a .01-20GHz, integrated vector network analyzer front end on a chip, which enables small network analyzers. The design accelerators include all components necessary for a network analyzer; including highspeed converters, FPGA, signal generation, and the ADL5960. The design goal was to remove our customers risk and reduce their design time. We will be discussing and demonstrating the designs at the workshop.

Wireless standards and radio requirements are evolving as the roll-out of 5G, emergence of open radio access networks (O-RAN), and early investigation of 6G are making forward progress. Particularly, multi-band macro-cell frequency-division duplexing (FDD) radio heads, massive multiple-input multiple-output (MIMO) time-division duplexing (TDD) radio units, and emerging frequency bands beyond sub-6 GHz present a unique challenge to the industry, striving for higher energy efficiency and capacity. This paper aims to provide an overview and discuss the future directions of the radio architecture, radio frequency (RF) power amplifiers, and digital transformation, leveraging machine learning and linearization techniques for cellular infrastructure.
Observe a 256 element array using ADI’s ADAR3002 beamformer and ADAR5000. The ADAR3002 is a dual beam/4 element/dual polarization beamformer IC with industry leading power dissipation (<350mW). The ADAR5000 is one of the smallest 1x4 wilkinson splitter/combiners on the market that can fit within the lattice pitch of a Ka band array. This demo is based on an actual antenna for SATCOM applications.
Learn about ADI’s newest GaN PA offerings and how ADI's power management solutions can be used to provide safe, fast biasing for radar applications.
The ADRV9002/4 has a maximum instantaneous receive bandwidth of 40 MHz on each of 2 channels. This application example utilizes the dual channel capabilities of the ADRV9002/4 to present a combined 80 MHz spectrum output by intelligently combining the precisely offset filtered and phase synchronized channels into an aggregate bandwidth using the Vanteon vProtean Software Defined Radio. A typical use case for this application is signal intelligence where a wideband signal of up to 80 MHz of bandwidth can be captured and characterized using a single ADRV9002/4. This can also be scaled to even wider bandwidths using multiple vProtean SDRs that are synchronized together using the Multichip Synchronization feature.
Witness ADI's advances in developing advanced simulation models for RF components such as RF amplifiers, RF mixers, RF switches, and beamformer ICs. We now have Genesys and SystemVue simulation models for beamformers along with an expanded library of simulation models for amplifiers, mixers, and RF switches.
Witness non-linear PA characterization with ADI’s ADRV9040 transceiver. This includes CW, two-tone, and modulated signal power sweep tests to help customers extract and correlate the PA characteristics to DPD performance and measure DPD metrics.
Explore a 24GHz radar signal chain featuring object detection using TinyRAD’s small form factor solution. Also highlighted are signal chain solutions that use direct digital synthesis (DDS) to generate faster ramps.
Witness how ADI’s mmWave array offerings provide up to 25% efficiency improvement compared to competing solutions. This enables a lighter, smaller radio delivering additional coverage, and makes possible operator CapEx and OpEx savings for more efficient FR2 deployment in macro and small cell/indoor use cases. A single vendor IC and array solution reduces time to market and de-risks customer deployments by leveraging proven IP for first pass success.
Explore ADI’s flip-chip, DC, and RF switches as well as digital attenuators. These products exemplify ADI’s focus on offering high performance products that enable emerging standards.
Explore ADI's low EMI Silent Switcher µModule® regulators that include single, dual and quad output, as well as a dual LDO output µModule regulator powered by an integrated EMI barrier and Silent Switcher switching regulator. The Silent Switcher architecture and ultra-high PSRR LDO technology reduce filters and LDOs on a PCB without decreasing system performance.
Learn how to maximize IC test environment productivity metrics using ADI’s ADGM1001 and ADGM1144 MEMS switches on an automated test equipment (ATE) load board. ADI’s MEMS switch technology delivers step change improvements in ATE Capacity, Consistency and Capability. Capacity: Doubles the number of devices under test (DUT) with a single insertion test solution. Consistency: 10x longer switching lifetime. Capability: Future-proofed platforms that support next-generation higher speed testing with ready-to-go optimized switch configurations.
ADI's compact, low power 8 port network analyzer solution is built around our new ADL5960 integrated vector analyzer front end. The solution supports 10MHz-20GHz s-parameter measurements. The compact form factor makes it suitable to integrate into larger test systems for RF characterization, structural analysis, and many more applications.
