Up-converter suited for 28 and 32 GHz band point-to-point radios
Richardson RFPD is offering availability and full design support capabilities for a new up-converter from M/A-COM Technology Solutions. The MAUC-011003 is an integrated up-converter assembled in a lead-free 4 mm 24-lead PQFN plastic package. It features a typical conversion gain of 12 dB, image rejection of 15 dBc, and is integrated with an LO doubler, LO buffer amplifier, and RF buffer amplifier.
Operating over the 27.5–33.4 GHz frequency bandwidth, the device offers high LO suppression that eliminates the need for a Tx filter.
The MAUC-011003 is ideally suited for 28 and 32 GHz band point-to-point radios under both LSB and USB operation and Ka-Band VSAT applications.
According to MACOM, additional key features of the device include: +20 dBm input third order intercept (IIP3); 45 dBm (2x) LO leakage (at RF port); variable gain with adjustable bias and +32 dBm output IP3 at maximum gain.
