Direct RF-Sampling Radar Receiver for L-: S-: C-: and X-Band Using ADC12DJ3200 Reference Design

Description

The TIDA-01442 reference design utilizes the ADC12DJ3200 evaluation module (EVM) to demonstrate a direct RF-sampling receiver for a radar operating in HF: VHF: UHF: L-: S-: C-: and part of X-band. The wide analog input bandwidth and high sampling rate (6.4 GSPS) of the analog-to-digital converter (ADC) provides multiband coverage with a single or dual ADC. The direct RF-sampling capabilities of the ADC reduces the component count by eliminating several down-conversion stages: thereby reducing overall system complexity.

Features
  • High-input-frequency capability of ADC allows RF sampling of signals from L-band to X-bandMax sample rate of 6.4 GSPS in single-channel (interleaved) mode and 3.2 GSPS in dual-channel modeFour independent NCOs per DDC allow fast frequency hopping among bandsClocking solution optimized for low jitter and JESD204B operation
Applications
