Overview
The EN 60747-16-4:2004/A2:2017 standard, published by CLC, pertains to semiconductor devices, specifically focusing on microwave integrated circuits (MICs) - switches. It forms an essential part of the broader EN 60747 series dedicated to semiconductor device standards, defining performance, measurement methods, and harmonization principles for switches used in microwave frequency applications.
This amendment (A2) updates the original 2004 publication, aligning with the latest technical progress and measurement techniques while ensuring compliance with international IEC standards. The document targets manufacturers, designers, and engineers working with high-frequency integrated circuits and microwave switch components in telecommunications, radar, and other radio frequency systems.
Key Topics
The standard covers technical attributes and measurement methodologies related to microwave integrated circuit switches, including:
Adjacent Channel Power Ratio (ACPR):
Defines the ratio of output power in adjacent frequency channels relative to the carrier signal, critical for evaluating interference and signal integrity in modulated microwave circuits.Nth Order Harmonic Distortion Ratio:
Specifies how to measure harmonic distortion in switches by computing the power ratio between harmonic components and the fundamental frequency, vital for assessing linearity and signal purity.Measurement Procedures and Electrical Characteristics:
Outlines precise testing methods, equations, and graphical symbols based on IEC 60617 to ensure consistent results and comparability across devices and vendors.Normative References:
Integrates related international standards including IEC 60747-1 (General semiconductor devices) and IEC 60747-16-1 (Microwave amplifiers), ensuring cohesive framework application across semiconductor device categories.
Applications
EN 60747-16-4:2004/A2:2017 is instrumental in:
High-frequency communication systems:
Enables reliable switch performance characterization in microwave signal routing and multiplexing applications.Radar and sensing equipment:
Ensures microwave switches meet rigorous distortion and power handling demands for precise signal processing.Wireless infrastructure:
Supports the development and testing of microwave integrated circuits embedded in base stations, repeaters, and satellite transponders.Semiconductor device manufacturing and quality assurance:
Provides standardized criteria for evaluation, testing, and certification of microwave switches, facilitating market acceptance and interoperability.
