PRODUCTION DATA
Figure 8-6 shows a system block diagram for the device when used as a dual channel S-band radar transmitter. The digital signal representing the radar chirp is generated by an ASIC or FPGA and transferred through a JESD204C serdes interface to the DAC device. Each DAC output is connected through an RF filter to one or more amplifier stages to increase the output power at the antenna.
The ADC12DJ4000RF is recommended as a dual channel digitizer. The received return signal from the antenna is directed to the RX path by a circulator, amplified and filtered.
A low phase noise clocking subsystem is used to generate a 8 GHz clock for the DAC39RF10 and 4 GHz clock for the ADC12DJ4000RF. The clocking subsystem also provide a SYSREF signal for each device used for synchronization.
