Texas Instruments AFE7901 4T4R RF Sampling Analog Front End
Texas Instruments AFE7901 4T4R RF Sampling Analog Front End (AFE) is a high-performance, wide-bandwidth multi-channel transceiver integrating four RF sampling receiver chains and four RF sampling transmitter chains. With operation up to 7.4GHz, this device enables direct RF sampling in the L, S, and C-band frequency ranges. This feature is done without the need for additional frequency conversion stages. This improvement in flexibility and density enables high-channel-count, multi-mission systems.The TX signal paths support digital up and interpolation conversion options that deliver up to 400MHz of signal bandwidth per TX path using a dual or single digital up converter. The output of the DUCs drives a 12GSPS DAC (digital-to-analog converter) with a mixed-mode output option to enhance the 2nd Nyquist operation. The DAC output of the Texas Instruments AFE7901 includes a variable gain amplifier (TX DSA) with a 40dB range and 1dB analog and 0.125dB digital steps.
