Features

The HMC497LP4(E) is a low noise high linearity Direct Quadrature Modulator RFIC which is ideal for digital modulation applications from 100 - 4000 MHz including; Cellular/3G, 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 m a t c h e d t o 5 0 O h m s w i t h n o e x t e r n a l c o m p o n e n t s . The LO requires -6 to +6 dBm and can be driven in either differential or single-ended mode while the baseband inputs will support modulation inputs from DC - 700 MHz typical. This device is optimized for a supply voltage of +4.5V to +5.5V and consumes 170 mA @ +5V supply. Very Low Noise Floor: -161 dBm/Hz Very High Linearity: +22 dBm OIP3 High Output Power: +9 dBm Output P1dB High Modulation Accuracy DC - 700 MHz Baseband Input Typical Applications The HMC497LP4(E) is ideal for:

  • UMTS, GSM or CDMA Basestations
  • Fixed Wireless or WLL

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= 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.
