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.

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

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 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.
