RF transceiver targets mission-critical communications applications

Analog Devices’ new high dynamic range RF transceiver series targets mission-critical commercial and military applications.

Analog Devices Inc. (ADI) has released the first product in its new RF transceiver series, aimed at mission-critical commercial and military applications. The ADRV9002 RF transceiver claims the highest dynamic range on the market and can correctly decode a signal in a heavily congested spectrum.

ADI RadioVerse RF transceiverThe RF transceiver is the latest addition to the company’s RadioVerse design and ecosystem.  It targets applications such as  first responder radios, private long-term evolution (LTE) networks and satellite communications— where size, weight and power are key design considerations, said ADI. (Other RadioVerse devices include the ADVR9009.)

The ADRV9002 is the first radio transceiver to enable narrowband and traditional wideband signals from 12 KHz to 40 MHz, said ADI. The device operates from 30 MHz to 6 GHz and provides a receiver dynamic range of -150 dBc/Hz and a highly linear transmitter. It is capable of handling voice, data, and video signals.

Other features include digital signal radio correction algorithms, AGC, DPD, frequency hopping, channel filtering, and the ability to dynamically adjust performance and power.

Applications include:

  • Mission critical communications
  • Very high frequency (VHF), ultra-high frequency (UHF), and cellular to 6 GHz
  • Time division duplexing (TDD) and frequency division duplexing (FDD) applications

Available now, the ADRV9002 is housed in a 12 x 12-mm, 196-ball chip scale BGA. Price per 1,000 units is $257.40.
