Transceivers

The low power requirements of this RF transceiver make it ideal for applications involving wireless sensors, remote controls, voice communications, and short range communications with long battery life. Battery powered applications in body area networks, and applications that rely on energy harvesting are also a good fit.

Anokiwave presents the AWMF-0108 highly integrated silicon quad core chip that is designed specifically for 5G phased array applications. This device functions within the 27.5 – 30 GHz frequency range, and operates in half duplex fashion, which enables a single antenna to support both Tx and Rx operation by supporting four Tx/Rx radiating elements.

The ML2730 is a single chip fully integrated Frequency Shift Keyed (FSK) transceiver with fully integrated PA. It is developed for a variety of applications operating in the 2.400 GHz to 2.485 GHz unlicensed ISM band. The ML2730 is mode selectable for operation with digital cordless phones (DSSS or DECT) and higher data rate streaming applications like wireless audio and video.

Planar Monolithics Industries (PMI) presents the PTRAN-100M18G-SFB-3UVPX-10HP-MAH transceiver designed for use in applications with an operating frequency range of 100 MHz to 18.0 GHz. This device is able to up-convert 100 MHz – 4.0 GHz transmit signals to the 2.0 to 18.0 GHz range, as well as down-convert transmit signals from 100 MHz – 18.0 GHz to the 100 MHz – 4.0 GHz intermediate frequency range for analog to digital conversion.

This VHF Data Transceiver operates in the 46.00 to 47.00 MHz frequency range and has an RF output power of >100mW. However, its unique architecture allows the transceiver to be modified to support other frequency ranges and RF output power requirements.

This Frequency Modulated Continuous-Wave (FMCW) Radar transceiver is antenna mounted and operates at 76Ghz. This particular transceiver has been designed for high volume, low cost manufacturing. Because FMCW radars are short-range- this transceiver will most likely be used in commercial applications involving security, radar sensors for vehicles for backup aid or side object detection.

Vector Signal Transceivers combine a vector signal generator and a vector signal analyzer with FPGA based real time signal processing and control. The NI PXIe-5644R RF Vector Signal Transceiver from National Instruments offers operation in the 65 MHz to 6 GHz frequency range, 80 MHz instantaneous bandwidth, and 24 channels of high speed digital I/O up to 250 Mbit/s. It’s used to test wireless and cellular standards.
