The HMC697LP4(E) is a low noise, high linearity Direct

Quadrature Modulator RFIC which is ideal for digital

modulation applications from 0.2 to 4.0 GHz including;

Cellular/3G, WiMAX/4G, Broadband Wireless Access

& ISM circuits. Housed in a compact 4x4 mm (LP4)

SMT QFN package, the RFIC requires minimal external

components & provides a low cost alternative to more

complicated double upconversion architectures. The

RF output port is single-ended and matched to 50

Ohms with no external components. The LO requires

-6 to +6 dBm and can be driven in either differential or

single-ended mode. This device is optimized for a +5V

supply, and offers improved carrier feedthrough and

sideband suppression characteristics.

High Modulation Accuracy

The HMC697LP4(E) is Ideal for:

• UMTS, GSM or CDMA Basestations

• Fixed Wireless or WLL

• ISM Transceivers, 900 & 2400 MHz

• GMSK, QPSK, QAM, SSB Modulators

• Cellular/3G and WiMAX/4G
