DIRECT QUADRATURE MODULATOR
• Dual-Band CDMA Base Stations
• TDMA/TDMA-EDGE Base Stations
• GSM-EDGE/EGSM Base Stations
• W-CDMA Base Stations
• WLAN and WLL Systems
• TETRA Systems
The RF2480 is a monolithic integrated quadrature modu-
lator IC capable of universal direct modulation for high-
frequency AM, PM, or compound carriers. This low-cost
IC features excellent linearity, noise floor, and over-tem-
perature carrier suppression performance. The device
implements differential amplifiers for the modulation
inputs, 90° carrier phase shift network, carrier limiting
amplifiers, two matched double-balanced mixers, sum-
ming amplifier, and an output RF amplifier which will drive
50
Ω from 800MHz to 2500MHz. Component matching is
used to obtain excellent amplitude balance and phase
accuracy.
• Typical Carrier Suppression>35dBc over
temperature with highly linear operation
• Single 5V Power Supply
• Integrated RF quadrature network
• Digitally controlled Power Down mode
• 800MHz to 2500MHz operation
