RF-Sampling S-Band Radar Transmitter Reference Design

Description

Synthesis of waveforms appropriate for an S-band multifunction phased array radar (MPAR) is demonstrated with an RF sampling architecture utilizing the DAC38RF80: a 9GSPS 16-bit digital-to-analog converter (DAC). The RF sampling transmit architecture simplifies the signal chain: bringing the data converter closer to the antenna: allowing flexibility with high performance.
