1.4 Design Considerations

Radar and EW systems typically operate in X, C, S, and L frequency bands. Radar and EW are typically based on a multiple wideband frequency conversion super-heterodyne architecture followed by a data converter. The multiple wideband frequency conversion stages use large, complex switched microwave filter banks. The number of wideband frequency conversion stages and the filter banks in the super-heterodyne architecture could be reduced in size and complexity with a wideband high sample rate data converter.

The AFE7950 device allows direct sampling from lower frequency band to X-band and could eliminate multiple components compared to conventional front-end architectures.
