Millimeter wave transmitter for point-to-point wireless communications introduced by Pasternack
April 18, 2017
IRVINE, Calif. –RF and microwave components specialist Pasternack Enterprises Inc. in Irvine, Calif., is introducing the PEM010 millimeter wave transmitter module for developing multi-gigabit, high-speed, point-to-point wireless communications links.
These communication links provide low-cost, gigabit wireless throughput for a variety of applications involving telecommunications last-kilometer distribution, telecommunications cellular backhaul, millimeter wave wireless gigabit Ethernet data communications, building-to-building high speed networks, and mesh-based LAN infrastructures.
The PEM010 operates in the global unlicensed frequency spectrum from 57 to 64.8 GHz. It also supports IEEE 802.11ad and 802.11aj Wi-Fi protocols for wireless multi-gigabit high-speed networking.
This module's design incorporates a silicon germanium MMIC-based frequency synthesizer and power amplifier. Its aluminum package has a waveguide interface with low-loss transition between the chip and WR-15 waveguide port. A multi-pin ST4 connector provides power, reference clock, digital control port, and baseband signals.
Typical performance of the PEM010 includes 38 dB gain, +12 dBm output P1dB, 34 dB image rejection, 1.8 GHz modulation bandwidth, and phase noise of -111 dBc/Hz @ 10 MHz offset.
Either of the two reference clocks set the 540 MHz or 500 MHz channel spacing. This module's I/Q analog baseband interface accepts analog baseband signals, and its optional baseband input supports FSK/MSK modulation for non-coherent applications and the WR-15 waveguide port can support gain horn antennas for extended transmission ranges.
