Description
This paper presents a compact, high-speed 10-bit wideband data converter for direct conversion of the microwave spectrum up to 40 GHz (Ka-band). With a 33 GHz input bandwidth, it supports RF direct sampling at 12.8 GSps with only 2.5W power consumption, eliminating the need for external mixers and simplifying system design. NPR performance has been measured up to 40 GHz, making it ideal for aerospace, telecommunications, and defense. The integrated digital down conversion (DDC) supports advanced features like frequency hopping and beamforming, making it perfect for applications with strict power, size, and performance needs, enabling software-defined mmWave radio for future-proof architecture.
