The EV12DD700 is Teledyne e2v latest DAC, enabling direct conversion up to Ka band, and multi-band direct conversion from L to Ku. It is a dual channel 12-bit DAC, converting at up to 12 GSps (NRZ, RF and 2RF modes). The DAC embeds digital processing features like Digital Up Conversion (DUC) with multiple interpolation ratios, Direct Digital Synthesis (DDS) and Chirp generation, Beam-Forming, Beam-Hopping and ultra-fast Frequency Hopping capability.
The chirp function allows chirp generation without any FPGA.
