Analog Devices Launches Ka-Band HPA and Block Upconverter for Single Carrier Satellite Communication Equipment
Published2014.11.05 15:14October 22, 2014 – Analog Devices (www.analog.com, NASDAQ: ADI), a global leader in high-performance semiconductors for signal processing applications, today announces the release of two Ka-band integrated modules for single carrier satellite communications.
The HMC7053 block upconverter and HMC7054 high-power amplifier (HPA) operate in the frequency range of 29–31 GHz and feature -60 dBc spurious-free dynamic range (SFDR) performance. These products, applicable to both military and commercial frequency bands, also meet military environmental requirements.
The HMC7053 is a fully integrated Ka-band block upconverter module with linear transmit output of -30 to +5 dBm and a corresponding upconverted output frequency range of 29–31 GHz. The input IF frequency range is 1–2 GHz at 0 dBm (typ), and the conversion gain is 20 dB. This newly released module is designed with dual upconversion architecture for maximum spurious suppression without phase inversion. Additionally, it includes L-band input, SMA input, 2.9 mm output connector, digital gain control, thermal monitoring, and gain compensation features.
The HMC7054 integrated Ka-band HPA module operates at +5 V and consumes 14 A of current. The linear transmit output is +37 dBm and the small-signal gain is 42 dB. The input connector port is 2.9 mm type, and the output is designed to interface with WR28 waveguide. Both the block upconverter and HPA products are designed with conductive cooling to dissipate heat, and the operating temperature range is -20 to +80°C.
