The ADMV1010 is a compact, gallium arsenide (GaAs) design, monolithic microwave integrated circuit (MMIC) single sideband (SSB) downconverter in a RoHS compliant package optimized for point to point microwave radio designs that operates in the 12.6 GHz to 15.4 GHz frequency range.
The ADMV1010 provides 15 dB of conversion gain with 25 dB of image rejection. The ADMV1010 uses a radio frequency (RF), low noise amplifier (LNA) followed by an in-phase/ quadrature (I/Q) double balanced mixer, where a driver amplifier drives the local oscillator (LO). IF1 and IF2 mixer outputs are provided, and an external 90° hybrid is needed to select the required sideband. The I/Q mixer topology reduces the need for filtering the unwanted sideband. The ADMV1010 is a much smaller alternative to hybrid style SSB downconverter assemblies, and it eliminates the need for wire bonding by allowing the use of surface-mount manufacturing assemblies.
The ADMV1010 downconverter comes in a compact, thermally enhanced, 4.9 mm × 4.9 mm, 32-terminal LCC package. The ADMV1010 operates over the −40°C to +85°C temperature range.
