Description

The HSP50307 is a mixed signal burst QPSK Modulator for

upstream CATV Applications. The HSP50307 demultiplexes

and modulates a serial data stream onto an RF Carrier cen-

tered between 8 and 15MHz. The signal spectrum is shaped

with

α = 0.5 root raised cosine (RRC) digital filters. On-chip fil-

tering limits spurs and harmonics to levels below -35dBc dur-

ing transmissions. The output power level is adjustable over a

40dB range in 1dB steps. The maximum differential output

level is +62dBmV into 75

Ω. A transmitter inhibit function dis-

ables the RF output outside the burst interval. The differential

output amplifier int7-erfaces to the cable via a transformer.

The Block Diagram of the HSP50307 QPSK Modulator is

shown below. The HSP50307 consists of a digital control

interface, an I/Q generator, a synthesizer, and a quadrature

modulator.

The data clock is derived from the master clock. The

HSP50307 demultiplexes the input data bits into in-phase (I)

and quadrature (Q) data streams. The first bit and subsequent

alternating bits of the burst are in-phase data. The two data

streams are filtered, converted from digital to analog, and low

pass filtered to produce the baseband I and Q analog signals.

The baseband signals are up-converted to RF in the Quadra-

ture Modulation Section. The synthesizer provides the local

oscillator (LO) for the quadrature modulator. The frequency is

programmable via the control interface with a resolution of

32kHz. The output of the quadrature modulator is low pass fil-

tered to remove harmonic distortion.
