7.3.6.1 Digital Upconverter (DUC)

Each DUC interpolates the I and Q signals by factors ranging from LT = 2, 3, 4, 6, 8, 12, 16, 24, 32, 48, 64, 96, 128, 192 and 256. The resulting up-converted baseband I/Q signal is then multiplied by a complex sinusoid generated by the numerically controlled oscillator (NCO) to mix the signal to the desired carrier frequency for output from the DAC. The interpolation factors supported vs the number of DUCs enabled is listed in Table 7-7.

Table 7-7 Supported Interpolation Factors vs Number of DUCs Enabled
Number of Streams (JESD_M)Interpolation Factors Supported (LT)DUCs Enabled
22-256xDUC0
44-256xDUC0, DUC1
68-256xDUC0, DUC1, DUC2
88-256xDUC0, DUC1, DUC2, DUC3

The NCOs and mixer can be bypassed, essentially setting the frequency and phase to 0, in which case the I input passes to the I output and the Q input passes to the Q output.
