The HMC6301 is a complete millimeterwave receiver integrated
circuit in a 6 mm × 4 mm, RoHS compliant, wafer level ball grid
array (WLBGA) that includes a low noise amplifier (LNA), an
image reject filter, an RF to IF downconverter, an IF filter, an
I/Q downconverter, and a frequency synthesizer. The receiver
operates from 57 GHz to 64 GHz with up to 1.8 GHz of double-sided
modulation bandwidth.
An integrated synthesizer provides tuning in 250 MHz, 500 MHz,
or 540 MHz steps with excellent phase noise to support up to
64 QAM modulation. Optionally, an external LO can be injected
allowing for user selectable LO characteristics or phase coherent
transmit and receive operation, as well as modulation up to
256 QAM. Support for a wide variety of modulation formats is
provided through a universal analog baseband I/Q interface.
The receiver device also contains AM and FM detectors to
demodulate on-off keying (OOK), frequency-shift keying
(FSK), or minimum-shift keying (MSK) modulation formats for
lower cost and lower power serial data links without the need
for high speed data converters.
Gain control is provided in the RF, IF, and baseband stages and
a low 8 dB typical noise figure is supported at maximum gain.
Together with the HMC6300 transmitter, a complete 60 GHz
transmit/receive chipset is provided for multiple Gbps operation in
the unlicensed 60 GHz ISM band.
