Synthesis of waveforms appropriate for an S-band multifunction phased array radar (MPAR) is demonstrated with an RF sampling architecture utilizing the DAC38RF80, a 9GSPS 16-bit digital-to-analog converter (DAC). The RF sampling transmit architecture simplifies the signal chain, bringing the data converter closer to the antenna, allowing flexibility with high performance.

The DAC38RF80EVM is the circuit board for evaluating DAC38RF80/84/90 digital-to-analog converters (DACs). The EVM can be used to evaluate the performance of the DAC up to 9-GSPS sampling rate. It is designed to work with the FPGA-based pattern generator card TSW14J56EVM (Rev B and up). The (...)
