Reduced runtime with standard-compliant measuring devices
Increased detection range and sensitivity of defense electronic devices

Analog Devices has newly launched the AD9208, a high-speed ADC product family.

Designed for applications using the gigahertz band, this product was developed to meet the requirements of 4G/5G multi-band wireless communication base stations for spectrum efficiency.

Using this new product can reduce the target runtime of multi-standard fabrication instrumentation and further enhance the detection range and sensitivity of defense electronics. Based on 28-nanometer CMOS technology, the AD9208 provides industry-leading bandwidth and dynamic range to handle the maximum number of signal bands. Furthermore, it offers low-noise spectral density suitable for diversity ratios and I/O demodulation systems, while consuming only half the power of other solutions.

The 14-bit dual AD9208 is optimized for use with wide input bandwidth, high sampling rates, excellent linearity, and low power in a small package tailored to industry-standard interfaces. With the AD9208, designers can select from various processor platforms and enable signal processing splitting using ADI's broadband RF data acquisition technology. A new ADC with a sampling rate of up to 3.0 GSPS enables the implementation of a direct RF signal processing architecture and also provides high-speed oversampling.

In addition, front-end filtering is possible, which reduces the complexity of receiver design and lowers overall system costs. Using the AD9208 enables direct RF sampling of broadband signals exceeding 6 GHz, which increases utility by eliminating the need for a mixer, and simplifies system design through an internal clock splitter and optional RF clock output.
