New 16-Channel ADC for Phased Array Radar Applications
The AD9083 is a 16-channel, 125 MHz bandwidth continuous time sigma delta analog-to-digital converter with a best-in-class power consumption of 0.09 W per channel. The integrated digital signal processing, on-chip PLL, flexible JESD204B interface and compact 9 x 9 mm package make it an ideal solution for large, phased array radar and digital beamforming applications where phase-coherent multi-chip synchronization is critical.

Wideband and Compact-Size Frequency Synthesizer up to 22 GHz
AnaPico Switzerland recently introduced a new, compact-size broadband frequency synthesizer for the generation of accurate and stable signal in both CW and pulse form, covering a frequency range of 100 kHz to 22 GHz, with a fast-switching time of about 10 us, the output power of -20 to 25 dBm. The phase noise at 1 GHz and 20 kHz offset is -131 dBc/Hz. Multiple units can be connected together for phase-coherent channels.
