L-S band AESA radar

• High gain and efficiency avionics-, L- and S-band power amplifiers based on LDMOS
  • reduces component count and considerably simplifies radar design
  • no danger for thermal runaways
  • large flexibility with respect to pulse format used (pulse droop much smaller and insertion phase much more stable than for bipolar technologies)
  • devices can be overdriven to +5dB without risk of failure or damage
• Extensive portfolio of RF small signal components based on SiGeC BiCMOS
• JESD204A-compliant data converters for simpler and cost-reduced PCB routing
• GaAs performance with silicon (LDMOS and SiGeC) benefits
  • reduced parameter spread by 50% - no further tuning required

Power to spare We've developed a strong position in RF transistors for high power transmitters with reliable, rugged and innovative solutions. These include our latest generation LDMOS technology which offers best-in-class efficiency, power and innovative package solutions, as well as our new high frequency technology based on Gallium Nitrited (GaN) material.

Small signal, big choice With NXP's extensive RF small signal portfolio including broadband amplifiers, low noise amplifiers (LNAs), variable gain amplifiers (VGAs), mixers, local oscillators (LOs), analog-to-digital converters (ADCs) and digital-to-analog converters (DACs), the best-fit solution for your Aerospace and Defense application is right at your fingertips.

Our portfolio is based on high speed, state-of-the-art silicon technologies such as our SiGe:C QUBiC4 BiCMOS process. QUBiC4 silicon components meet the performance and ruggedness requirements of radar applications, while offering greater functionality than traditional gallium arsenite (GaAs) components, at similar or lower cost.

A better standard for data converters Our highly competitive high speed ADCs and DACs feature three different data interfaces, including the industry's first implementation of JEDEC JESD204A (2008). The new standardized serial interface dramatically reduces the number of interconnect signals between data converters and logic devices. They also offer the ability to synchronously bonding multiple data converters channels or lanes.
