HSP50307
Burst QPSK Modulator
December 1996
Features
Description
• 256 KBPS Data Rate and 128 KBPS Baud Rate
• Burst QPSK Modulation
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 75Ω. 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.
• Programmable Carrier Frequency from 8MHz to
15MHz With a Frequency Step Size of 32kHz
• α = 0.5 Root Raised Cosine (RRC) Filtering For Spec-
trum Shaping
• On-Board Synthesizer
• Programmable Output Level From 22 to 62dBmV in
1dB Steps
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.
• Programmable Charge Pump Current Control
• 62dBmV Differential Output Driver for 75Ω Cable
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.
Applications
• Burst QPSK Modulator
• HSP50307EVAL1 Evaluation Board Is Available
Ordering Information
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.
