Functional Diagram
General Description
The HMC630LP3 & HMC630LP3E are high dynamic
range Vector Modulator RFICs which are targeted
for RF predistortion and feed-forward cancellation
circuits, as well as RF beam forming and amplitude/
phase correction circuits. The I & Q ports of the
HMC630LP3(E) can be used to continuously vary
the phase and amplitude of RF signals by up to 360
degrees and 40 dB respectively, while supporting a
3 dB modulation bandwidth of 180 MHz. With an out-
put IP3 of +24.5 dBm and output noise floor of -162
dBm/Hz (at maximum gain setting), the output IP3/
noise floor ratio is 186.5 dB.
