SKY73092-459LF: 400-6000 MHz Quadrature Modulator
Applications
Description
Skyworks SKY73092-459LF is an integrated quadrature
modulator for the upconversion of complex modulated
baseband/IF signals directly up to RF. The device is designed for
use in the 400 to 6000 MHz range. The high linearity, and
excellent I/Q phase accuracy and amplitude balance of the
SKY73092-459LF make it ideal for use in high performance
communication systems.
• Cellular base station systems: GSM/EDGE, CDMA2000,
W-CDMA, TD-SCDMA, LTE
• WiMAX/broadband wireless access systems
• Satellite modems
Features
The modulator accepts two differential baseband inputs and a
single-ended Local Oscillator (LO), and generates a single-ended
RF output. The baseband input buffers accept an input common-
mode voltage of 0.5 V. The LO input is broadband matched on-
chip to 50 Ω, which enables a direct connection to a 50 Ω LO
source. The RF output is a broadband, single-ended 50 Ω port,
designed for a direct connection to a 50 Ω load.
• RF frequency operation range: 400 to 6000 MHz
• Baseband common-mode voltage: 0.5 V
• Side-band suppression better than –45 dBc
• Carrier feedthrough of –40 dBm
• Noise floor of –161 dBm/Hz
