Overview
The ADRF6780ACPZN, produced by Analog Devices Inc., is a wideband microwave upconverter designed for point-to-point microwave radio systems and other high-frequency applications. This silicon germanium (SiGe) device operates within the frequency range of 5.9 GHz to 23.6 GHz, making it suitable for various microwave and radar systems. It supports two upconversion modes: direct conversion from baseband I/Q to RF and single sideband upconversion from real IF. The device features a matched 100 Ω balanced RF output, LO input, and IF input, along with high impedance baseband inputs.
