HMC1097LP4E v03.0812 WIDEBAND DIRECT QUADRATURE MODULATOR, 100 - 6000 MHz Typical Applications Features The HMC1097LP4E is Ideal for: Very Low Noise Floor, -160 dBm/Hz UMTS, GSM or CDMA Basestations Excellent Carrier & Sideband Suppression Very High Linearity, +30 dBm OIP3 Fixed Wireless or WLL ISM Transceivers, 900 & 2400 MHz High Output Power, +11 dBm Output P1dB High Modulation Accuracy GMSK, QPSK, QAM, SSB Modulators 2 24 Lead 4x4 mm QFN Package: 16 mm Cellular/3G and WiMAX/4G 11 Functional Diagram General Description The HMC1097LP4E is a low noise, high linearity Direct Quadrature Modulator RFIC which is ideal for digital modulation applications from 0.1 to 6.0 GHz including Cellular/3G, WiMAX/4G, Broadband Wireless Access & ISM circuits. 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 -6 to +6 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. Electrical Specifications, See Test Conditions on following page herein.

The Uncalibrated Sideband and Carrier Suppression plots were measured at T= -40 C, +25 C, and +85 C. The Calibrated Sideband Suppression data was plotted after a manual adjustment of the I/Q amplitude balance and I/Q phase offset (skew) at +25 C, 5V Vcc, 0 dBm LO input power level. The +25 C adjustment settings were held constant during tests over temperature. The Calibrated Carrier Suppression data was plotted after a manual adjustment of the IP/IN & QP/QN DC offsets at +25 C, 5V Vcc, 0 dBm LO input power level. The +25 C adjustment settings were held constant during tests over temperature.
