Ideal for commercial and military transmitter systems, the EWU1509YF and EWU1809YF frequency upconverters operate over IF ranges of dc to 4 GHz and generate frequencies of 10.0 to 15.4 GHz and 17.0 to 24.0 GHz, respectively. Based on GaAs pHEMT technology, the devices incorporate several frequency mixers, LO amplifier or frequency doubler, and variable-gain RF amplifier circuitry.
The EWU1509YF achieves 16-dB typical conversion gain and 19-dBm typical RF output power at 1-dB compression. RF output levels can be adjusted in level by means of a 27-dB RF gain-adjustment range. The output third-order intercept point is typically 28 dBm at the maximum RF gain setting.
The EWU1809YF achieves a 5-dB typical conversion gain and generates 19-dBm typ RF output power at 1-dB compression, but allows this level to be adjusted by means of an integrated 18-dB RF gain adjustment range. The output third-order intercept point is typically 25 dBm at the maximum RF gain setting. Housed in 32-lead QFN packages, the parts also feature ESD protection bias circuitry per HBM Class 1A requirements and are rated for operating temperatures from –55° to 85°C.
