Modern communications applications like tactical/1st responder radios, satellite uplink/downlink, and cellular devices place high demands on product components. In this article, learn about the ADRV9002, a high-performance highly-integrated transceiver IC from Analog Devices.
The ADRV9002 from Analog Devices is the industry’s first high-performance highly integrated transceiver IC that operates from 30 MHz to 6 GHz, capable of handling narrowband and/or wideband signals from 12 kHz to 40 MHz.
The receiver has been designed to be used in demanding high dynamic range (150 dBc/Hz) and linearity applications whereby the part can decipher and absorb wanted RF signals in the presence of large blockers.
The transmitter provides the highest linearity and output power with the lowest noise floor (−155 dBFS/Hz @ 7 dBm) for optimum transmitter signal purity and range.
Unique systems features and power vs. performance tradeoff configurations enable the ADRV9002 to be used in power-sensitive markets and applications.
