AM9012 2 MHz to 6 GHz MMIC Tuner Module

2 MHz to 6 GHz Miniature Tuner Module

AM9012 is a fully integrated mini-module comprised of MMIC and MCM devices that provide a complete high dynamic range miniature tuner module covering the 2-MHz to 6‑GHz frequency range. The superheterodyne tuner module is designed for high performance and low size, weight, and power (low SWaP) and is easily mounted to a host circuit board for use in multi-channel receiver applications.

Sub-octave pre-selectors, pre-amplifiers, local oscillators, frequency converters, power and control line filtering, a temperature sensor and a control FPGA are included. The analog IF output frequency is centered at 60 MHz with an 80‑MHz bandwidth. Multiple tuner sets can be configured to work together for coherent operation and N-channel applications. Interfacing to the tuner is accomplished by simply providing an RF input, DC voltages, frequency reference, SPI control, and routing the IF output.

Evaluation board includes SMA input and output connectors, SMA reference input, and a single SMA voltage input. AM9012 evaluation board requires software control via a USB module provided on the evaluation board. Included with the evaluation board is a graphical interface for control of the module and a user manual showing how to operate the module using the provided GUI. Reference input can be either 10 MHz from your test equipment or a 100 MHz direct from a signal generator. Evaluation board includes one AM9012 unit mounted to the board. Additionally the units may be controlled independently or synced together for coherent operation. Evaluation board includes two AM9012 unit mounted to the board.

The analog IF output frequency of the AM9012Eval-A is centered at 60 MHz with an 80 MHz bandwidth over an SMA output connector.
