HMC696LP4E v04.01213 SiGe WIDEBAND DIRECT QUADRATURE MODULATOR, 20 - 2700 MHz Typical Applications Features The HMC696LP4E is Ideal for: Very Low Noise Floor, -162 dBm/Hz GMSK, QPSK, QAM, SSB Modulators Excellent Carrier & Sideband Suppression Very High Linearity, +23.7 dBm OIP3 Cellular/3G and WiMAX/4G Software Defined Radio High Output Power, +8.5 dBm Output P1dB High Modulation Accuracy Multi-Band Transmitters 2 24 Lead 4x4 mm QFN Package: 16 mm Test Equipment Functional Diagram General Description The HMC696LP4E is a low noise, high linearity Direct Quadrature Modulator RFIC which is ideal for digital modulation applications from 0.02 to 2.7 GHz inc- luding software denfi ed radio and multi-band tran- smitters. Housed in a compact 4x4 mm (LP4) SMT QFN package, the RFIC requires minimal external components & provides a low cost alternative to more complicated double upconversion architectures. The RF output port is single-ended and matched to 50 Ohms with no external components. The LO requires 0 to +10 dBm and can be driven in either differential or single-ended mode. This device is optimized for a +5V supply, and offers improved carrier feedthrough and sideband suppression characteristics. For higher frequency applications, the HMC697LP4E Direct Modulator covers 450 - 4000 MHz. Electrical Specifications, See Test Conditions on following page herein. Parameter Typ. Typ. Typ. Typ. Typ.

The Uncalibrated, +25 C Sideband and Carrier Suppression plots were measured at room temperature, while the Uncalibrated, over Temperature Sideband and Carrier Suppression plots represent the worst case uncalibrated suppression levels measured at T= -40 C, +25 C, and +85 C. The Calibrated, + 25 C Sideband Suppression data was plotted after a manual adjustment of the I/Q amplitude balance and I/Q phase offset (skew) at +25 C, and at each LO input power level. The +25 C adjustment settings were held constant during tests over temperature. The Calibrated, over Temperature plots represent the worst case calibrated Sideband Suppression levels at T= -40 C, +25 C, and +85 C. The Calibrated, +25 C Carrier Suppression data was plotted after a manual adjustment of the Ip/In & Qp/Qn DC offsets at +25 C, and at each LO input power level. The +25 C adjustment settings were held constant during tests over temperature. The Calibrated, over Temperature plots represent the worst case Carrier Suppression levels measured at T= -40 C, +25 C, and +85 C.
