Unparalleled Performance
Industry's best dynamic performance at 2.7 GHz and
beyond
Footprint-compatible family from 500 MSPS to 3.6 GSPS
Reduce design time and cost and make future
upgrades easy by reusing designs at different speed
grades
Footprint-compatible with National's ADC12D1x00 and
ADC10D1x00
Enable design reuse for different dynamic range
requirements
Industry's largest Nyquist zone of up to 1.8 GHz
Enable truly wideband software-defined radio (SDR)
Combine multiple wideband and narrowband
channels into a single ultra wideband channel
New interleaved mode more than doubles useable input
frequency range
Sample higher input frequencies w ith higher
resolution than previously possible
RF-Sampling A/D Applicatio ns
The RF-sampling ADC family replaces multiple analog components with a single chip, reducing system cost, size, weight, and power, and saving design time. In addition, their excellent
performance over a large range of input frequencies up to and beyond 2.7 GHz enables maximum frequency, bandwidth, and overall system programmability and flexibility in many
applications including software-defined radio (SDR) and dig ital pre-distortion (DPD) in LTE/UMTS basestations, radar, lidar, and signal intelligence (SIGINT).
Basestations
Allows direct RF-sampling in 3G/4G receive and dig ital pre-
distortion (DPD) signal paths
Replace entire IF-sampling and ZIF-sampling subsystems of
mixers, LO-synthesizers, amplifiers, filters, and ADCs
1.8 GHz Nyquist zone enables ultra-wideband and multiband
radio designs
Microwave Backhaul
Enable higher data capacity backhaul link – industry's largest
Nyquist zone and best performance beyond 2.7 GHz allows for
higher-order modulation over channel bandwidths of at least 1.25
GHz
RF-sampling capability enables ODU and IDU integration by
eliminating entire IF-sampling and ZIF-sampling subsystems
RF-sampling capability eliminates multiple frequency down-
conversion stages
Software-Defined Radi o and Military
Replace multiple frequency down-conversion stages and combine
multiple narrowband and wideband channels into a single ultra
wideband channel
Excellent noise and linearity performance beyond 2.7 GHz and
industry's largest Nyquist zone enable digital implementation of
filters and mixers, allowing for on-the-fly programming of
bandwidth and frequency to maximize system agility and flexibility
Test & Measurement
Enable higher bandwidth scopes and higher resolution, larger
bandwidth real-time spectrum analyzers (RTSA)
Enable higher linearity analyzers
