Product details
Overview
EV1HMC6301BG46 from Analog Devices is a millimeterwave receiver IC operating from 57 GHz to 64 GHz, integrating LNA, image-reject downconverter, IF filter, I/Q demodulator, and frequency synthesizer in a single 75-ball WLBGA package. It delivers up to 69 dB receiver gain, 8 dB typical noise figure, and supports 1.8 GHz modulation bandwidth for 64 QAM and optionally 256 QAM with external LO - enabling high-data-rate wireless backhaul and WiGig/802.11ad systems.
For engineers reviewing the EV1HMC6301BG46 datasheet, EV1HMC6301BG46 pinout, EV1HMC6301BG46 application, or EV1HMC6301BG46 equivalent, this page provides verified RF performance metrics, baseband interface details, synthesizer configuration options, thermal sensor operation, and real-world deployment context for 60 GHz ISM band systems requiring stable gain control, low phase noise, and integrated image rejection.
Technical Context
The EV1HMC6301BG46 implements a triple-conversion architecture: RF input (57–64 GHz) is amplified by an LNA, then mixed with a ×3-multiplied LO (16.3–18.3 GHz) to generate an 8.14–9.1 GHz IF, followed by quadrature demodulation to baseband. Its integrated image-reject filter suppresses 40–46 GHz images by >35 dBc, and sideband suppression reaches 20–23 dBc via on-chip I/Q balance calibration.
Gain control spans three stages - LNA (20 dB analog/digital), IF VGA (12/15 dB), and baseband (41 dB total) - with independent analog voltage inputs (ANACTRLLNA, ACTLIFVGA) and digital register control. The synthesizer supports 250/500/540 MHz channel steps using internal reference clocks (71.4286/142.857/154.2857 MHz), delivering −93 dBc/Hz phase noise at 1 MHz offset.

Equivalent & Alternatives
The following parts are listed as comparable options for similar millimeterwave receiver applications.
| Alternative Part | Technical Difference | Application Difference | Selection Advice |
|---|---|---|---|
| HMC6300 | Transmitter-only companion chip with identical package, pinout, and control interface - designed for paired use with EV1HMC6301BG46 in full-duplex systems. | Not a receiver; used only for transmit path in 60 GHz transceiver modules. | Select HMC6300 only when building complete HMC6300/HMC6301 chipset solutions for FDD backhaul or WiGig radios. |
| ADAR1000 | 4-channel Ka-band beamformer IC (27–31 GHz) with integrated T/R switching, not a direct receiver - lacks downconversion, synthesizer, or baseband interface. | Targets phased-array radar and satellite comms, not 60 GHz ISM band communication. | Choose ADAR1000 for active antenna arrays requiring amplitude/phase control, not for standalone 60 GHz receive functionality. |
Compared with HMC6300 and ADAR1000, EV1HMC6301BG46 uniquely integrates full 57–64 GHz receive chain with synthesizer, image rejection, and analog I/Q outputs - making it the only single-chip solution for compact, high-data-rate 60 GHz receivers without external mixers or filters.

FAQ
What is the operating frequency range of the EV1HMC6301BG46?
The EV1HMC6301BG46 operates from 57 GHz to 64 GHz, covering the entire unlicensed 60 GHz ISM band. This range supports IEEE 802.11ad/WiGig channels and enables high-data-rate wireless backhaul and short-range communication systems. The device maintains specified gain, noise figure, and image rejection across this full band at temperatures from −40°C to +85°C.
Does the EV1HMC6301BG46 support external local oscillator (LO) injection?
Yes, the EV1HMC6301BG46 supports external LO injection via differential pins EXTLO_P and EXTLO_N (0–6 dBm). This enables phase-coherent operation with external transmitters like the HMC6300, supports 256 QAM modulation, and allows custom LO spectral purity or frequency agility beyond the internal synthesizer's 250/500/540 MHz step sizes.
How is gain controlled in the EV1HMC6301BG46?
The EV1HMC6301BG46 provides three-stage gain control: LNA (20 dB analog/digital), IF VGA (12/15 dB analog/digital), and baseband (41 dB total). Analog control uses voltage inputs ANACTRLLNA (0.1–2.0 V) and ACTLIFVGA (0.1–2.25 V); digital control is implemented via SPI-accessible registers (e.g., ROW8 for LNA gain, ROW5 for IF VGA).
What baseband interface does the EV1HMC6301BG46 provide?
The EV1HMC6301BG46 features a universal analog I/Q baseband interface with four differential outputs: VOUT_IP/VOUT_IM (I-channel) and VOUT_QP/VOUT_QM (Q-channel). Each pair delivers 10–200 mVp-p signals into 100 Ω loads with 1.3 V common-mode voltage, supporting direct connection to ADCs or baseband processors without external level-shifting.
Can the EV1HMC6301BG46 be used for radar applications?
Yes, the EV1HMC6301BG46 is suitable for FMCW radar and high-resolution imaging due to its −93 dBc/Hz phase noise at 1 MHz offset, >35 dBc image rejection, and coherent I/Q outputs. Its 57–64 GHz range, 1.8 GHz modulation bandwidth, and on-chip temperature sensor support accurate time-of-flight and Doppler measurements in short-range radar systems.
