Wideband Programmable Modulator
(WPM)
Features
• Output Sample Rates. . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . to 100MSPS
• Input Data Rates . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . .Up to 25MSPS (I/Q)
• 32-Bit Programmable Carrier NCO
The HSP50415 Wideband Programmable Modulator (WPM)
is a quadrature amplitude modulator/upconverter designed
for wideband digital modulation. The WPM combines
shaping and interpolation filters, a complex modulator, timing
and carrier NCOs and dual DACs into a single package.
• X/SIN(X) Rolloff Compensation
• Programmable I and Q Shaping FIR Filters:
- Up to 24 Symbol Span
The HSP50415 supports vector modulation, accepting up to
16-bit In phase (I) and Quadrature (Q) samples to generate
virtually any quadrature AM or PM modulation format. A
constellation mapper and 24 Symbol span interpolation
shaping filter is provided for the input baseband signals. Gain
adjustment is provided after the shaping FIR filter. A timing
error generator in the input section allows the on-chip timing
NCO to track the input timing.
• Fixed or NCO Controlled Interpolation:
- Interpolation Range . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . 4 to > 128K
- Digital PLL to Lock to Input Symbol Clock
• Digital Signal Processing Capable of >70dB SFDR
• Dual 12-bit D/A Processing Capable of >50 dB SFDR
The WPM includes a Numerically Controlled Oscillator
(NCO) driven interpolation filter, which allows the input and
output sample rate to have a non-integer or variable
relationship. This re-sampling feature simplifies use of
sample rates that do not have harmonic or integer frequency
relationships to the input data rate and decouples the carrier
from the DATACLK.
Applications
• Wide-Band Digital Modulation
• Base Station Modulators
• HSP50415EVAL1 Evaluation Board Available
Ordering Information
A complex quadrature modulator modulates the baseband
data on a programmable carrier center frequency. The
WPM offers digital output spurious Free Dynamic Range
(SFDR) that exceeds 70dB at the maximum output sample
rate of 100MSPS, for input sample rates as high as
25MSPS. X/SIN(X) rolloff compensation filtering is
