The AFE7922 is a high performance, wide bandwidth multichannel transceiver, integrating two RF sampling transmitter chains and two RF sampling receiver chains. The high dynamic range of the transmitter and receiver chains allows the device to generate and receive 3G, 4G, and 5G signals from wireless base stations, while the wide bandwidth capability of the AFE7922 is designed for multiband 4G and 5G base stations.

The TX signal paths support interpolation and digital up conversion options that deliver up to 400MHz of signal bandwidth per TX channel. The output of the DUCs drives a 12GSPS DAC (digital to analog converter) with a mixed mode output option to enhance 2nd Nyquist operation. The DAC output includes a variable gain amplifier (TX DSA) with 40dB range and 1dB analog and 0.125dB digital steps.

Each receiver chain includes a 25dB range DSA (Digital Step Attenuator), followed by a 3GSPS ADC (analog-to-digital converter). Each receiver channel has an analog peak power detector and various digital power detectors to assist an external or internal autonomous automatic gain controller, and RF overload detectors for device reliability protection. Flexible decimation options provide optimization of signal bandwidth of up to 400MHz per RX channel.
