HMC6300

Data Sheet 60 GHz Millimeterwave Transmitter, 57 GHz to 64 GHz HMC6300 FEATURES GENERAL DESCRIPTION Frequency band: 57 GHz to 64 GHz RF signal bandwidth: up to 1.8 GHz Output power for 1 dB compression: 15 dBm Gain: 5 dB to 35 dB Digital and analog RF and IF gain control Integrated frequency synthesizer Integrated image reject filter Partially external loop filter Support for external local oscillator (LO) On-chip temperature sensor Support for 256 QAM modulation Integrated minimum shift keying (MSK) modulator Universal analog I/Q baseband interface 3-wire serial digital interface 65-ball, RoHS compliant, wafer level ball grid array APPLICATIONS The HMC6300 is a complete millimeterwave transmitter integrated circuit in a 6 mm × 4 mm RoHS compliant wafer level ball grid array (WLBGA) that operates from 57 GHz to 64 GHz with up to 1.8 GHz modulation bandwidth. An integrated synthesizer provides tuning in 250 MHz, 500 MHz, or 540 MHz steps with excellent phase noise to support up to 64 QAM modulation. Optionally, an external LO can be injected allowing for user selectable LO characteristics or phase coherent transmit and receive operation, as well as modulation up to 256 QAM. Support for a wide variety of modulation formats is provided through a universal analog baseband I/Q interface. The transmitter chip optionally supports dedicated frequency-shift keying (FSK), minimum shift keying (MSK), and on-off keying (OOK) modulation formats for lower cost and lower power serial d...
