Signal-Source SiP Pairs With mmWave Block Upconverter SiP
Browse our complete IMS 2025 coverage.
Spectrum Control (Booth #927) is unveiling its low-jitter, high-frequency, signal-source system-in-package (SiP) and 18- to 40-GHz mmWave block upconverter SiP at IMS 2025. The stable, high-frequency, signal-source SiP is a complete system of clocks with up to four buffered (or divided) high-frequency clocks paired with synchronous system reference signals for JESD interfaces, as well as one FPGA signal.
The SiP's small footprint (0.75 × 1.75 in.) makes it possible to shrink board size, and it speeds up development and manufacturing.
The mmWave block upconverter upconverts standard 2- to 18-GHz bands into mmWave signals (18 to 40 GHz) in a 30-mm2 BGA package. It can be paired with Spectrum Control’s 18- to 40-GHz block downconverter SiP to adapt a 2- to 18-GHz direct-sampling system to support mmWave frequencies.
