Datasheets

Suitable for use in single-carrier satellite communications, two Ka-band devices have been released by Analog Devices. Operating in the 29-31GHz frequency output range, the HMC7053 block upconverter and HMC7054 high-power amplifier (HPA) feature 60dBc spurious-free dynamic range performance. Meeting military environmental conditions, the devices cover both commercial and military bands.

At a linear output power of -30 to 5dBm, the HMC7053 is upconverted from 29 to 31GHz. /with 20dB conversion gain, the device features a 1 to 2GHz dual input IF at 0dBm. To ensure no phase inversion and maximum spurious rejection, the upconverter was designed with a dual upconversion scheme. Dual L-band inputs, an SMA input and a 2.9mm output connector are offered with the device. The upconverter also provides digital gain control, thermal monitoring and gain compensation. The upconverter measures 5.72x4.51x1.63" and weighs 0.6lbs.

Operating at 5V while consuming 14A, the HMC7054 achieves linear output power of 37dBm and a 42dB small signal gain. A 2.9mm input connector and WR28 waveguide output are offered with the device. The HPA measures 5.0x4.51x1.145" and weighs 1.6lbs.

Designed for conduction cooling, both the block upconverter and the HPA operate across a -20 to +80 °C temperature range. Both devices are available now.
