BGT24MTR12 BOARD

The BGT24MTR12 is a Silicon Germanium MMIC for signal generation and reception, operating from 24.0 to 24.25 GHz. It is based on a 24 GHz fundamental voltage controlled oscillator. A switchable frequency prescaler is included with output frequencies of 1.5 GHz and 23 kHz. The main RF output delivers typ. 11 dBm signal power to feed an antenna. A RC polyphase filter (PPF) is used for LO quadrature phase generation of the homodyne quadrature downconversion mixer. Output power sensors as well as a temperature sensor are implemented for monitoring purposes. The device is controlled via SPI and is manufactured in a 0.18µm SiGe:C technology offering a cutoff frequency of 200 GHz. The MMIC is packaged in a 32 pin leadless RoHs compliant VQFN package.
