Analog Devices adds 2 Ka-band devices for single-carrier satellite communications

Analog Devices has added two Ka-band devices — HMC7053 block upconverter and HMC7054 high-power amplifier — for use in single-carrier satellite communications.

The HMC7053 block upconverter and HMC7054 HPA operate in the 29- to 31-GHz frequency output range, feature -60-dBc spurious-free dynamic range performance and cover both commercial and military bands while meeting military environmental conditions.

The HMC7053 integrated Ka-band block upconverter is upconvertered to 29 to 31 GHz at a linear output power of -30 to 5 dBm. The device features a 1- to 2-GHz dual input IF at 0 dBm typical and 20-dB conversion gain, said Analog Devices in a statement.

The company designed the new module with a dual upconversion scheme to ensure no phase inversion and maximum spurious rejection. Other features include dual L-band inputs, an SMA input and a 2.9-mm output connector, digital gain control and thermal monitoring and gain compensation.

The HMC7054 integrated Ka-band HPA achieves linear output power of 37 dBm, a 42-dB small signal gain and operates at 5 V while drawing 14 amps. This apart, the new device has a 2.9-mm input connector and WR28 waveguide output. Both the block upconverter and HPA are designed for conduction cooling and operate over the -20 °C to +80 °C temperature range.
