NORWOOD, Mass. -- (Business Wire)
Analog
Devices, Inc. (ADI) today introduced the AD9164 D/A converter that
brings high resolution radar images for designers of military and
commercial radar while reducing solution component count. Additionally,
for designers of precision instrumentation equipment, such as smartphone
testers, the new device ensures improved accuracy as well as speed of
test, contributing to faster market-ready time while significantly
decreasing tester complexity and size. Thanks to its audio to 6 GHz
frequency coverage, the AD9164 D/A converter moves the tester market one
step closer to a universal wireless test platform.

D/A Converter Offers More Accuracy in a Smaller Footprint for Diverse Applications Ranging from Radar to Smartphone Testing (Photo: Business Wire)
The AD9164 D/A converter delivers:
-
Highest linearity in ADI’s D/A converters portfolio
-
100 to 1,000 times improved spectral purity versus previous generation
ADI solutions (20-30 dB better)
-
Higher agility with frequency change time now a 100 times shorter than
traditional ADI phased locked loop (PLL) systems
The reduction in solution component count and thus size enables element
level digital beamforming advanced radar solutions. With the same
performance specifications as the already released AD9162, the AD9164
D/A converter also includes an on-chip direct digital synthesizer (DDS)
that ensures phase-coherent fast frequency hopping of less than 300 ns
for up to 32 different frequencies. This makes the AD9164 D/A converter
well-suited for testing anything from AM broadcast band or Japanese FM
band to 5.8 GHz UNII band.
The AD9164 converter features a 2x interpolator (FIR85), which enables
configurability for lower data rates and converter clocking to reduce
overall system power and ease filtering requirements. In mix-mode
operation, this D/A converter can be configured to reconstruct RF
carriers in the 2nd and 3rd Nyquist zones up to 7.5 GHz while
maintaining exceptional dynamic range.
The AD9164 also comes with a unique remote evaluation tool, allowing
designers to “test-drive” the D/A converter’s performance. The remote
tool is available at http://labs.analog.com/ad916x.
