NORWOOD, Mass. -- (Business Wire)
Analog
Devices, Inc. (NASDAQ: ADI) announced today an integrated direct
conversion receiver development platform for radar systems where reduced
size, weight and power (SWaP) implementation is critical. The new
AD-FMCOMMS6-EBZ platform is a 400-MHz to 4.4-GHz receiver (1350 MHz to
1650 MHz with installed filters) supporting the key L- and S-band
frequency radar bands. The platform’s VITA57-compliant form factor
ensures seamless connectivity to FMC (FPGA mezzanine card) platforms.
The AD-FMCOMMS6-EBZ is suitable for defense, communications, and
instrumentation radar systems requiring a high level of integration and
performance delivered in a compact footprint. These include early
warning detection, weather surveillance, and air traffic control systems.
The AD-FMCOMMS6-EBZ receiver platform integrates the AD9652 dual 16-bit
A/D converter, ADL5566 high-dynamic-range RF/IF dual differential
amplifier, and ADL5380 quadrature demodulator, all of which are COTS
(commercial-off-the-shelf) components. A complete design support package
is available for the AD-FMCOMMS6-EBZ, and includes schematics, layout
files, noise analysis worksheet, FPGA HDL (hardware description
language) code, and software drivers.
About the AD-FMCOMMS6-EBZ Receiver Development Platform
The
AD-FMCOMMS6-EBZ utilizes an I/Q demodulator to implement a direct
conversion or zero IF architecture in which just one frequency
translation is required, compared to a super-heterodyne receiver that
must perform several frequency translations. A single frequency
translation is advantageous because it reduces receiver complexity and
the number of conversion stages needed, which in turn increases
performance and reduces power consumption. The architecture also avoids
image rejection issues and unwanted mixing by adding an amplification
stage to maintain the full-scale input to the A/D converter. In
addition, the image rejection inherent to the I/Q modulation scheme
removes the need for an expensive anti-aliasing filter. The on-board
local oscillator and converter clock share the same reference signal to
prevent smearing.
The AD-FMCOMMS6-EBZ receiver development platform incorporates a full
direct-receive signal chain path and has a bandwidth of 220 MHz with a
pass-band flatness of +/- 1.0 dB. The RF input range of the ADL5380
demodulator is 400 MHz to 6 GHz and is powered by a single 5-V supply.
The ADL5566 4.5-GHz dual differential amplifier is optimized for IF and
dc applications and provides a gain of 16 dB. The AD9652 dual 16-bit,
310-MSPS A/D converter achieves the industry’s lowest noise at the
highest speed; this level of performance enables target identification
at a much longer range. The SNR and SFDR measured at an IF of 145 MHz
are 64 dB and 78 dBc, respectively. Additional on-board functionality
includes power management and clock distribution with fanout.
