Multichannel RF transceiver reference design for radar and electronic warfare applications
Description
This reference design: an 8-channel analog front end (AFE): is demonstrated using two AFE7444 4-channel RF transceivers and a LMK04828-LMX2594 based clocking subsystem which can enable designs to scale to 16 or more channels. Each AFE channel consists of a 14-bit: 9-GSPS DAC and a 3-GSPS ADC that is synchronized to less than 10ps skew with > 75-dB dynamic range at 2.6 GHz.
Features
- High density: scalable 8-channel RF sampling analog frontend with single FMC interfaceSystem clock skew less than 5 psec across devicesClock phase adjustment with 0.5 psec step resolutionLow noise clock generation for 14-bit analog frontend performanceDigital function (NCO: DDC and so forth) synchronization across multiple transceivers
