Overview
The ADF5901WCCPZ is a 24 GHz Tx monolithic microwave integrated circuit (MMIC) developed by Analog Devices Inc. This component is designed for radar systems and features an on-chip, 24 GHz voltage-controlled oscillator (VCO) with a power gain amplifier (PGA) and dual transmit (Tx) channels. The VCO generates a 24 GHz signal for the two Tx channels and the local oscillator (LO) output. Each Tx channel includes a power control circuit, and the device also incorporates an on-chip temperature sensor. The ADF5901WCCPZ is packaged in a compact 32-lead, 5 mm × 5 mm lead frame chip scale package (LFCSP).
