• Fully integrated E-Band transceiver modules with high Tx output power.
• Supports 256QAM modulation and includes an integrated duplexer.
• Single T/R port for antenna interface and single connector modem interface.
• Low phase noise and small form factor with high linear Rx.

The Orpheus E-Band transceiver modules offer a turnkey solution for carrier-grade mobile backhaul applications. Each module includes all necessary transmit and receive functions for the RF section of an E-Band link and provides a simple connection to a high data rate full duplex modem. The integrated duplexer connects directly to an antenna via a standard WR12 interface. Internal low phase noise VCOs are adjustable via an SPI interface in 250 kHz steps to support ECC/ITU channel arrangements.
