Hittite has launched a new, highly integrated HMC6000LP711E/HMC6001LP711E antenna-in-package (AiP) silicon transceiver chipset solution, which is fabricated with silicon germanium (SiGe) BiCMOS semiconductor process technology and targets 60 GHz applications such as short-range Gbps data links, wireless sensors and test applications.
The HMC6000LP711E AiP solution combines a 60 GHz antenna with the HMC6000 transmitter IC while the HMC6001LP711E AiP solution combines a 60 GHz antenna with the HMC6001 receiver IC. Both transceivers are available in 7 x 11 mm QFN plastic packages which support low-cost surface mount PCB assembly and require no experience in handling millimetre-wave devices.
The chipset not only solves many of the key technical challenges encountered at millimetre-wave frequencies, but also enables turnkey multi-Gbps communication links at 60 GHz. Lower-frequency baseband signals are directly translated to and from 60 GHz, minimising the need for expensive and complex millimetre-wave interconnection components on the printed circuit board.
Both ICs provide an integrated frequency synthesiser for tuning across the 57 to 64 GHz band using 500 or 540 MHz steps (a quarter of the IEEE channel spacing) depending on the reference input frequency.
An RF antenna provides a low-loss RF transition to free space. Both devices provide a simple four-wire digital serial interface for full control and status reporting for these ICs, including frequency channel selection, gain control, circuit bias and filter bandwidths.
To facilitate evaluation of these transceiver ICs, Hittite offers the EKIT01-HMC6450, a complete 60 GHz AiP transceiver evaluation kit containing both the HMC6000LP711E transmitter and the HMC6001LP711E receiver.
Complete with configuration software, the kit provides the user with everything needed to set up a bidirectional millimetre-wave link at 60 GHz with a range of 4 metres. A universal analog I and Q interface will translate baseband analog I and Q signals with single-sided bandwidth out to 880 MHz and from the 60 GHz ISM band.
