LMX2492: FMCW chirp from 6Ghz to 7Ghz

Jay Shenoy

Part Number: LMX2492

Hi,
I currently have managed to generated a 9 to 10ghz chirp (1ghz bandwidth) using the lmx2492EVM.

I'm wondering if it is possible to generate a 6ghz to 7ghz chirp instead by just modifying the TICS pro

software configuration.

Thanks

HI Jay,

Sure it will work in a similar manner, make sure you have a 6-7GHz VCO, the on-board VCO does not support this frequency range.

Hi Noel,
Thanks for the response! What's the minimum frequency value of the on-board VCO?

Hi Jay,

We have specified the VCO part number in the EVM user's guide, please check the VCO datasheet for details.
