E-Band Upconverter SiP, 81 GHz to 86 GHz

The ADMV7320 is a fully integrated system in package (SiP), in phase/quadrature (I/Q) upconverter that operates between an intermediate frequency (IF) input range of dc and 2 GHz and a radio frequency (RF) output range of 81 GHz and 86 GHz. The device uses an image rejection mixer that is driven by a 6× local oscillator (LO) multiplier. The mixer RF output is followed by a variable gain amplifier (VGA) and a power amplifier (PA), providing a conversion gain of 33 dB typical. Differential I and Q mixer inputs are provided and can be driven with differential I and Q baseband waveforms for direct conversion applications. Alternatively, the inputs can be driven using an external 90° hybrid and two external 180 hybrids for single-ended applications.

The ADMV7320 comes in a fully integrated, surface-mount, 50-terminal, 16.00 mm × 14.00 mm, chip array small outline no lead cavity (LGACAV) package. The ADMV7320 operates over the −40°C to +85°C temperature range.
