GENERAL DESCRIPTION
The AD9271 is designed for low cost, low power, small size,
and ease of use. It contains eight channels of a variable gain amp-
lifier (VGA) with low noise preamplifier (LNA); an antialiasing
filter (AAF); and a 12-bit, 10 MSPS to 50 MSPS analog-to-digital
converter (ADC).
Each channel features a variable gain range of 30 dB, a fully
differential signal path, an active input preamplifier termination, a
maximum gain of up to 40 dB, and an ADC with a conversion
rate of up to 50 MSPS. The channel is optimized for dynamic
performance and low power in applications where a small
package size is critical.

The LNA has a single-ended-to-differential gain that is selectable
through the SPI. The LNA input noise is typically 1.2 nV/√Hz,
and the combined input-referred noise of the entire channel
is 1.4 nV/√Hz at maximum gain. Assuming a 15 MHz noise
bandwidth (NBW) and a 15.6 dB LNA gain, the input SNR is
roughly 86 dB. In CW Doppler mode, the LNA output drives a
transconductance amp that is switched through an 8 × 6
differential crosspoint switch. The switch is programmable
through the SPI.
