GENERAL DESCRIPTION
The ADF5902 is a 24 GHz transmitter (Tx) monolithic microwave
integrated circuit (MMIC) with an on-chip, 24 GHz voltage
controlled oscillator (VCO). The VCO features a fractional-N
frequency synthesizer with waveform generation capability with
programmable grid array (PGA) and dual transmitter channels
for radar systems. The on-chip, 24 GHz VCO generates the
24 GHz signal for the two transmitter channels and the local
oscillator (LO) output. Each transmitter channel contains a
power control circuit. There is also an on-chip temperature
sensor.
Control of all the on-chip registers is through a simple, 4-wire
serial peripheral interface (SPI).
