The AFE7901 is a high performance, wide bandwidth multi-channel transceiver, integrating four RF sampling transmitter chains and four RF sampling receiver chains. With operation up to 7.4GHz, this device enables direct RF sampling in the L, S and C-band frequency ranges without the need for additional frequency conversions stages. This improvement in density and flexibility enables high-channel-count, multi-mission systems. The TX signal paths support interpolation and digital up conversion options that deliver up to 400MHz of signal bandwidth per TX path using a single or dual digital up converter. The output of the DUCs drives a 12GSPS DAC (digital to analog converter) with a mixed mode output option to enhance 2nd Nyquist operation. The DAC output includes a variable gain amplifier (TX DSA) with 40dB range and 1dB analog and 0.125dB digital steps. Each receiver chain includes a 25dB range DSA (Digital Step Attenuator), followed by a 3GSPS ADC (analog-to-digital converter). Each receiver channel has an analog peak power detector and various digital power detectors to assist an external or internal autonomous automatic gain controller, and RF overload detectors for device reliability protection. Flexible decimation options provide optimization of signal bandwidth up to 400MHz using one or two digital down converters (DDCs).
