4 Description (continued)

Each receiver chain of the AFE7700 includes a 28-dB range digital step attenuator (DSA), followed by a

wideband passive IQ demodulator, and a baseband amplifier with integrated programmable antialiasing low pass

filters, driving a continuous-time sigma-delta ADC. The RX chain can receive an instantaneous bandwidth (IBW)

up to 200 MHz. Each receiver channel has two analog peak power detectors and various digital power detectors

to assist an external or internal autonomous AGC control for receiver channels, and a RF overload detector for

device reliability protection. The integrated QMC (quadrature mismatch compensation) algorithm is capable to

continuously monitor and correct for the RX chain I and Q imbalance mismatch without the need to inject any

specific signals or perform offline calibration.

Each transmitter chain includes two 14-bit, 3-Gsps IQ DACs, followed by a programmable reconstruction and

DAC image rejection filter, an IQ modulator driving a wideband RF amplifier with 39-dB range gain control. The

TX chain integrated QMC and LO leakage cancellation algorithms, leveraging the FB path can constantly track

and correct for the TX chain IQ mismatch and LO leakage.

Each FB path is based on RF sampling architecture, and includes an input RF DSA driving a 14-bit, 3-Gsps RF

ADC. The direct sampling architecture provides an inherently wideband receiver chain and simplifies the

calibration of the TX chains impairments. The FB path integrates two independent NCO that allows a fast

switching between two observed RF input bands.

The synthesizer section integrates four fractional-N RF PLL that can generate four different RF LO, allowing the

device to support up to two different bands, each one configured as two transmitters, two receivers and one

feedback paths.
