Overview
EN 60747-16-3:2002/A2:2017 is a European standard focusing on semiconductor devices, specifically microwave integrated circuits (MICs) used as frequency converters. Developed under the CLC (European Committee for Electrotechnical Standardization), this standard aligns with the IEC 60747-16-3:2002/A2:2017 publication by the International Electrotechnical Commission.
This amendment (A2) updates the original 2002 standard to reflect technical advancements and clarifications in the field of microwave frequency converters found in semiconductor devices. It covers parameters critical to the performance and characterization of frequency converting MICs, ensuring harmonization of testing methods and definitions across European and international markets.
Key Topics
- Microwave integrated circuits (MICs): The standard focuses on MICs designed for frequency conversion functions, which are key components in radio frequency (RF) and microwave systems.
- Frequency converters: Semiconductor circuits transforming input signals at one frequency to output signals at another frequency via mixing processes.
- Electrical characteristics: Detailed parameters such as intermodulation distortion (IMD), RF/IF isolation, and output power measurement procedures are standardized.
- Isolation metrics: Includes RF/IF and IF/RF isolation definitions to quantify how effectively a converter isolates input and output signals, crucial for performance and interference mitigation.
- Intermodulation distortion (IMD): Standardized definitions and measurement methods for IMD ratios (nth order components relative to the fundamental), essential for evaluating signal purity and converter linearity.
- Measurement circuits: The standard provides circuit diagrams and test setups specifically for assessing parameters like IF/RF isolation and IMD.
- Normative references: It incorporates related standards such as IEC 60050-702 (Electrotechnical Vocabulary - Oscillations and signals), IEC 60617 (Graphical symbols), and IEC 60747-1 (General semiconductor device requirements).
Applications
EN 60747-16-3:2002/A2:2017 is vital for designers, manufacturers, and testers of microwave integrated circuits used in:
- Telecommunications: Frequency converters in mobile base stations, satellite communications, and radar systems.
- Wireless signal processing: Converters in RF front-ends for filtering, mixing, and frequency translation applications.
- Electronic measurement equipment: Precise frequency conversion for signal analyzers and microwave test apparatus.
- Military and aerospace: Secure and reliable frequency conversion units for communication and radar technologies.
- Microwave system modules: Ensuring compatibility and standardized performance of MIC-based frequency converters integrated into larger subsystems.
This standard ensures uniformity across Europe and supports interoperability through consistent terminology, testing methods, and parameter definitions, improving product quality and system efficiency.
