Wideband Receiver Reference Design for Upstream DOCSIS 3.1 Applications
Description
This reference design consists of an analog front-end (AFE) signal chain for wideband receiver applications using the LMH2832 digitally controlled variable gain amplifier (DVGA) and ADS54J40 analog-to-digital converter (ADC). The design is primarily targeted for upstream DOCSIS 3.1 receiver applications specified for cable modem termination systems (CMTS) and supports up to 196 MHz of upstream signal bandwidth. The circuit solves the filtering and analog signal processing requirements for the DOCSIS 3.1 standard: which makes it easier for system designers to readily incorporate the design on the CMTS-side of the upstream signal path.
