GENERAL DESCRIPTION
The ADMV1013 is a wideband, microwave upconverter optimized
for point to point microwave radio designs operating in the
24 GHz to 44 GHz radio frequency (RF) range.
while suppressing the unwanted sideband by typically better than
26 dBc. The serial port interface (SPI) allows adjustment of the
quadrature phase and mixer gate voltage to allow optimum
sideband suppression and local oscillator (LO) nulling. In
addition, the SPI interface allows powering down the output
envelope detector to reduce power consumption.
The upconverter offers two modes of frequency translation. The
device is capable of direct conversion to RF from baseband in-phase
quadrature (I/Q) input signals, as well as single-sideband (SSB)
upconversion from complex intermediate frequency (IF) inputs.
The baseband I/Q input path can be disabled and modulated
complex IF signals, anywhere from 0.8 GHz to 6.0 GHz, can be
inserted in the IF path and upconverted to 24 GHz to 44 GHz
The ADMV1013 upconverter comes in a 40-terminal land grid
array package (LGA) package. The ADMV1013 operates over
the −40°C to +85°C case temperature range.
