ADI公司的ADMV1014是采用硅鍺（SiGe）工藝術設計的寬帶微波下變頻器，針對點到點微波無線電設計進行優化，工作頻率范圍為 24.5 GHz 至 43.5 GHz.該下變頻器提供兩種頻率轉換模式。該器件能夠從正交解調直接變頻為基帶 IQ 輸出信號，并從鏡像抑制下變頻為復中頻輸出載波頻率。基帶輸出可采用直流耦合，特別是IQ 輸出將使用足夠低的高通轉折頻率進行交流耦合，以確保充足的解調精度.SPI 接口可對正交相位進行微調，使用戶能夠優化 IQ 解調性能。另一方面，可以禁用基帶 IQ 輸出，且 I/Q 信號可通過片內有源巴倫提供兩個單端復中頻輸出（800至6000MHz）。用作鏡像抑制下變頻器時，不需要的鏡像項通常會被抑制，比所需邊帶低 25dBc.

高度集成的ADMV1013微波上變頻器和ADMV1014微波下變頻器非常適用于工作在28 GHz和39 GHz 5G無線基礎設施頻帶下的微波無線電平臺。這些轉換器具有1GHz帶寬，以及OIP3高于20 dBm的上變頻器，可以支持嚴苛的調制方案（如1024QAM），可支持多Gb無線數據。同時該芯片組也支持其他應用如衛星和地面接收站寬帶通信鏈路，航空無線電，RF測試設備和雷達系統。本文介紹了ADMV1014主要特性，功能框圖以及評估板ADMV1014-EVALZ主要特性，配置圖，實驗室建立圖，電路圖，材料清單和PCB設計圖。

The ADMV1014 is a silicon germanium （SiGe）， wideband， microwave downconverter optimized for point to point microwave radio designs operating in the 24 GHz to 44 GHz frequency range.

The downconverter offers two modes of frequency translation. The device is capable of direct quadrature demodulation to baseband inphase （I）/quadrature （Q） output signals， as well as image rejection downconversion to a complex intermediate frequency （IF） output carrier frequency. The baseband outputs can be dc-coupled， or， more typically， the I/Q outputs are ac-coupled with a sufficiently low high-pass corner frequency to ensure adequate demodulation accuracy. The serial port interface （SPI） allows fine adjustment of the quadrature phase to allow the user to optimize I/Q demodulation performance. Alternatively， the baseband I/Q outputs can be disabled， and the I/Q signals can be passed through an on-chip active balun to provide two single-ended complex IF outputs anywhere between 800 MHz and 6000 MHz. When used as an image rejecting downconverter， the unwanted image term is typically suppressed to better than 30 dBc below the wanted sideband. The ADMV1014 offers a flexible local oscillator （LO） system， including a frequency quadruple option allowing up to a 41 GHz range of LO input frequencies to cover a radio frequency （RF） input range as wide as 24 GHz to 44 GHz. A square law power detector is provided to allow monitoring of the power levels at the mixer inputs. The detector output provides closed-loop control of the RF input variable attenuator through an external op amp error integrator circuit option.

The ADMV1014 downconverter comes in a compact， thermally enhanced， 5 mm × 5 mm LGA package. The ADMV1014 operates over the ?40℃ to +85℃ case temperature range.

評估板ADMV1014-EVALZ

The ADMV1014-EVALZ evaluation board incorporates the ADMV1014 with a microcontroller， low dropout （LDO） regulators， and nanoDAC? to allow quick and easy evaluation of the ADMV1014. The microcontroller allows the user to configure the ADMV1014 register map through the ACE software. The LDO regulators allow the ADMV1014 to be powered on by a single supply and offer good power supply ripple rejection. The nanoDAC allows the user to attenuate the RF power going into the mixer of ADMV1014 without using an external power supply.
