Richardson RFPD Introduces Pair of New Integrated IQ Modulators from ADI

May 8, 2012 Press Release

-- Quadrature Modulators Include Fractional-N PLL Synthesizers and Low Phase Noise VCOs

May 8, 2012 – Lafox, Illinois: Richardson RFPD, Inc. today announces immediate availability and full design support capabilities for a pair of new integrated IQ modulators from Analog Devices, Inc. (ADI). The devices are the latest additions to ADI's range of quadrature modulator and synthesizer solutions that offer small footprints and require minimal external components. Both are suitable for next generation communications systems requiring high signal dynamic range and linearity, including cellular systems like GSM/EDGE, CDMA2000, W-CDMA, TD-SCDMA and LTE, as well as broadband wireless access systems and satellite modems. The integration of the IQ modulator, phase locked loop (PLL), and voltage controlled oscillator (VCO) provides for significant board savings and reduces the materials cost and design complexity.

The ADRF6703 is designed for RF outputs from 1550 MHz to 2650 MHz. Key features include:

Internal LO frequency range: 2100 MHz to 2600 MHz
Output P1dB: 14.2 dBm @ 2140 MHz
Output IP3: 33.2 dBm @ 2140 MHz
Noise floor: −159.6 dBm/Hz @ 2140 MHz
Baseband bandwidth: 750 MHz (3 dB)
SPI serial interface for PLL programming
Integrated LDOs and LO buffer
Power supply: 5 V/240 mA
40-lead 6 mm × 6 mm LFCSP

The ADRF6704 is designed for RF outputs from 2050 MHz to 3000 MHz. Key features include:

Internal LO frequency range: 2500 MHz to 2900 MHz
Output P1dB: 12.1 dBm @ 2700 MHz
Output IP3: 27.2 dBm @ 2700 MHz
Noise floor: −158.3 dBm/Hz @ 2700 MHz
Baseband bandwidth: 750 MHz (3 dB)
SPI serial interface for PLL programming
Integrated LDOs and LO buffer
Power supply: 5 V/226 mA
40-lead 6 mm × 6 mm LFCSP

About RF Cafe Copyright: 1996 - 2024 Webmaster: Kirt Blattenberger, BSEE - KB3UON RF Cafe began life in 1996 as "RF Tools" in an AOL screen name web space totaling 2 MB. Its primary purpose was to provide me with ready access to commonly needed formulas and reference material while performing my work as an RF system and circuit design engineer. The World Wide Web (Internet) was largely an unknown entity at the time and bandwidth was a scarce commodity. Dial-up modems blazed along at 14.4 kbps while tying up your telephone line, and a nice lady's voice announced "You've Got Mail" when a new message arrived...
