National Semiconductor Announces SP16160CH1RB, Wireless Basestation IF Sampling Receiver Reference Design Board

The SP16160CH1RB is intermediate frequency (IF) receiver reference design for multi-carrier, multi-standard wireless basestations addressing GSM/EDGE, WCDMA, LTE and WiMAX standards. The subsystem reference design kit gives radio designers the necessary technical material – reference design board, software, schematic, bill of materials (BOM) and Gerber files – to accelerate the design and development of high-performance radio receivers. The SP16160CH1RB reference design board facilitates evaluation of the IF receive signal path performance under a variety of input conditions. When combined with a low-noise, high-linearity RF front-end and sufficient IF filtering, the reference design enables high sensitivity receivers that exceed the stringent multi-carrier GSM requirements in both normal and blocking conditions. The SP16160CH1RB delivers an IF chain receiver sensitivity of -105 dBm, with a 9 dB carrier-to-noise ratio in a 200 kHz channel, at 192 MHz input IF. The SP16160CH1RB operates from a single 5V supply and includes the dual-channel ADC16DV160 16-bit, 160 mega-samples per second (MSPS) pipeline ADC, dual-channel LMH6517 DVGA, and LMK04031B clock jitter cleaner…
