GENERAL DESCRIPTION
The I and Q demodulators provide inphase and quadrature
baseband outputs to interface with Analog Devices’ AD7013
(IS54, TETRA, MSAT) and AD7015 (GSM) baseband con-
verters. A quadrature VCO phase-locked to the IF drives the I
and Q demodulators. The I and Q demodulators can also de-
modulate AM; when the AD607’s quadrature VCO is phase
locked to the received signal, the in-phase demodulator becomes
a synchronous product detector for AM. The VCO can also be
phase-locked to an external beat-frequency oscillator (BFO),
and the demodulator serves as a product detector for CW or
SSB reception. Finally, the AD607 can be used to demodulate
BPSK using an external Costas Loop for carrier recovery.
The AD607 is a 3 V low power receiver IF subsystem for opera-
tion at input frequencies as high as 500 MHz and IFs from
400 kHz to 12 MHz. It consists of a mixer, IF amplifiers, I and
Q demodulators, a phase-locked quadrature oscillator, AGC
detector, and a biasing system with external power-down.
The AD607’s low noise, high intercept mixer is a doubly-
balanced Gilbert cell type. It has a nominal –15 dBm input
referred 1 dB compression point and a –8 dBm input referred
third-order intercept. The mixer section of the AD607 also
includes a local oscillator (LO) preamplifier, which lowers the
required LO drive to –16 dBm.
The gain control input can serve as either a manual gain control
(MGC) input or an automatic gain control (AGC) voltage-
based RSSI output. In MGC operation, the AD607 accepts an
external gain-control voltage input from an external AGC detec-
tor or a DAC. In AGC operation, an onboard detector and an
external averaging capacitor form an AGC loop that holds the
IF output level at ±300 mV. The voltage across this capacitor
then provides an RSSI output.
