ADMV1355

The ADMV1355 is a highly integrated microwave upconverter optimized for wideband radio designs operating in the 17.7GHz to 55GHz RF range. Provides a compact alternative to traditional multichip solutions, significantly reducing system size, weight, and power consumption.

The integrated local oscillator (LO) signal chain accepts LO input signals in the 8.85GHz to 27.5GHz range. In the LO signal chain, there are internal amplifiers, a 2× frequency multiplier, programmable harmonic-reject filter, and phase-adjust circuitry that generates the necessary 17.7GHz to 55GHz signal to drive the inphase/quadrature (I/Q) mixer.

The ADMV1355 offers three frequency translation mixer modes: IF hybrid input, complex IF input, and baseband I/Q differential input. The IF hybrid input mode utilizes one intermediate frequency (IF) input signal in the 8GHz to 12GHz range, which then passes through an on-chip 90° IF hybrid. The IF hybrid coupler produces the necessary quadrature signals for the mixer. The complex IF input mode utilizes two quadrature IF input signals in the 1GHz to 12GHz range. The baseband I/Q differential input mode utilizes differential baseband I/Q input signals from DC to 12GHz.

Immediately following the mixer are two, switch-selectable RF output driver signal chains. The low band signal chain operates from 17.7GHz to 34GHz, and the high band signal chain operates from 30GHz to 55GHz. Each signal chain has multiple stages of signal level control and harmonic filtering.
