Signal Synthesis

Analog Devices offers a variety of solutions for frequency synthesis, including fully-digital DDS-based solutions, Phase-Locked Loops for RF applications, and high-speed DACs capable of direct multicarrier signal synthesis at baseband, IF, and RF frequencies as well as the mixers, modulators, variable-gain amplifiers and video and RF amplifiers to complete the signal chain.

Arbitrary Waveform Generator: ADI delivers leading-edge signal processing IC solutions for arbitrary waveform generators. Whether you need to generate a sinusoidal or customizable waveform, ADI has the innovative products and system level expertise to help make your design a success. To make your design challenges easier, ADI has compiled a varied array of design resources that will allow you to quickly and easily select, optimize and evaluate your design in one convenient location.

Frequency Synthesizer: Analog Devices offers a variety of solutions for frequency synthesis, including DDS ICs, Phase-Locked Loops with and without integrated VCOs for RF applications, and single and dual high-speed DACs capable of direct single- and mult-carrier signal synthesis at baseband, IF, and RF frequencies.

Frequency Synthesizer With Complex Modulation: Vector Signal Modulators start with a synthesizer signal chain and add high speed DACs and RF modulators to create complex signals across a wide range of output frequencies for a variety of communications standards. The build-in signal processing in ADI’s DACs and gain and phase accuracy of ADI’s RF modulators minimize EVM.

Value Synthesized Signal Generator: For designers on a budget, ADI offers wideband DDS ICs and DACs that can serve as a standalone synthesizer as well as Phase-Locked Loops with integrated VCOs that can be mixed with the synthesized signal to move it to UHF and microwave bands. Both DDS and PLLs are available with integrated sweep functions. ADI’s families of Blackfin and ARM-based processors with integrated ADCs provide signal processing and control functions.
