GENERAL DESCRIPTION

The ADMV1011 is a compact, gallium arsenide (GaAs) design,

monolithic microwave integrated circuit (MMIC), double

sideband (DSB) upconverter in a RoHS compliant package

optimized for point to point microwave radio designs that

operates in the 17 GHz to 24 GHz frequency range.

The ADMV1011 provides 21 dB of conversion gain with 32 dBc

of sideband rejection for the lower sideband and 23 dBc of

sideband rejection for the upper sideband. The ADMV1011

uses a radio frequency (RF) amplifier preceded by an in

phase/quadrature (I/Q) double balanced mixer, where a driver

amplifier drives the local oscillator (LO) with a 2× multiplier.

IF1 and IF2 mixer inputs are provided and an external 90°

hybrid is needed to select the required sideband. The I/Q mixer

topology reduces the need for filtering the unwanted sideband.

The ADMV1011 is a much smaller alternative to hybrid style

DSB upconverter assemblies and it eliminates the need for wire

bonding by allowing the use of surface-mount manufacturing

assemblies.

The ADMV1011 upconverter comes in a compact, thermally

enhanced, 4.9 mm × 4.9 mm LCC package. The ADMV1011

operates over the −40°C to +85°C temperature range.
