E-Band Low Noise Downconverter SiP, 81 GHz to 86 GHz

The ADMV7420 is a fully integrated system in package (SiP) in phase/quadrature (I/Q) downconverter that operates between an intermediate frequency (IF) output range of dc and 2 GHz and a radio frequency (RF) input range of 81 GHz and 86 GHz. The device provides a small signal conversion gain of 10 dB with 30 dBc of image rejection. The ADMV7420 uses a low noise amplifier followed by an image rejection mixer that is driven by a 6× local oscillator (LO) multiplier. Differential I and Q mixer outputs are provided for direct conversion applications. Alternatively, the outputs can be combined using an external 90° hybrid and two external 180° hybrids for single-ended applications.

The ADMV7420 comes in a fully integrated, surface-mount, 34-terminal, 11 mm × 13 mm, chip array small outline no lead cavity (LGACAV) package. The ADMV7420 operates over the −40°C to +85°C case temperature range.
