Transmitter module covers 60-GHz global unlicensed spectrum
Irvine, CA. Pasternack has released the PEM010, a complete millimeter-wave transmitter module that is suitable for use in the development of multi-gigabit, high-speed, point-to-point wireless-communication links. These communication links provide low-cost, gigabit wireless throughput for a variety of applications involving telecommunications “last kilometer” distribution, telecommunications cellular backhaul, millimeter-wave wireless gigabit Ethernet data communications, building-to-building high-speed networks, and mesh-based LAN infrastructures.
The PEM010 operates in the global unlicensed frequency spectrum from 57.0 to 64.8 GHz. It also supports IEEE 802.11ad and 802.11aj Wi-Fi protocols for wireless, multigigabit, high-speed networking. This module’s design incorporates a SiGe MMIC-based frequency synthesizer and power amplifier. Its small, lightweight, low-cost aluminum package is precisely machined and features a complete waveguide interface with low-loss transition between the chip and WR-15 waveguide port. A multi-pin ST4 connector is used for power, reference clock, digital control port, and baseband signals.
Typical performance of the PEM010 includes 38-dB gain, +12-dBm output P1dB, 34-dB image rejection, up to 1.8-GHz modulation bandwidth, and phase noise of -111 dBc/Hz at 10-MHz offset. Either of the two reference clocks can be used for setting the 540-MHz or 500-MHz channel spacing. This module’s I/Q analog baseband interface accepts analog baseband signals, which provides flexibility in design and applications. The optional baseband input supports FSK/MSK modulation for noncoherent applications, and the WR-15 waveguide port can support available gain horn antennas for extended transmission range applications.
“The PEM010 is a high-performance millimeter wave transmitter module in a compact package that supports a WR-15 waveguide interface and is ideal for use in developing multigigabit, high-speed, point-to-point wireless communication links. Best of all, this 60-GHz transmit module is available in stock and ready to ship to our customers today,” explained Tim Galla, active component product manager at Pasternack.
Pasternack’s PEM010 Tx module is in-stock and ready for immediate shipment with no minimum order quantity.
