An internal analog combiner sums the real and imaginary components of the RF outputs. This combined output can feed the RF preamp at frequencies of up to 2.5 GHz. The modulator is implemented as a double-balanced mixer. An internal local oscillator (LO) phase splitter accommodates a single-ended LO input, eliminating the need for a costly external balun.

It is assumed that the baseband inputs delivered to the pins of the TRF3702 are perfectly matched to have the same dc offset (VCM). This includes all four baseband inputs: IVIN, QVIN, IREF and QREF. Unadjusted carrier suppression is measured in dBc. Adjusted (Optimized) Carrier Suppression This differs from the unadjusted suppression number in that the dc offsets of the baseband inputs are iteratively adjusted around their theoretical value of VCM to yield the maximum suppression of the LO component in the output spectrum. Adjusted carrier suppression is measured in dBc. 6 Submit Documentation Feedback TRF3702 www.ti.com SLWS149A - SEPTEMBER 2004 - REVISED AUGUST 2006 DEFINITIONS OF SELECTED SPECIFICATIONS (continued) Unadjusted Sideband Suppression This specification measures the amount by which the unwanted sideband of the input signal is attenuated in the output of the modulator, relative to the wanted sideband. It is assumed that the baseband inputs delivered to the modulator input pins are perfectly matched in amplitude and are exactly 90 out of phase. Unadjusted sideband suppression is measured in dBc. Adjusted (Optimized) Sideband Suppression This differs from the unadjusted sideband suppression in that the baseband inputs are iteratively adjusted around their theoretical values to maximize the amount of sideband suppression. Adjusted sideband suppression is measured in dBc. Suppressions Over Temperature This specification assumes that the user has gone through the optimization process for the suppression in question, and set the optimal settings for the I, Q inputs at TA = 25C. This specification then measures the suppression when temperature conditions change after the initial calibration is done. Figure 1 shows a simulated output and illustrates the respective definitions of various terms used in this data sheet.

THEORY OF OPERATION The TRF3702 employs a double-balanced mixer architecture in implementing the direct I, Q upconversion. The I, Q inputs can be driven single-endedly or differentially, with comparable performance in both cases. The common mode level (VCM) of the four inputs (IVIN, IREF, QVIN, QREF) is typically set to 3.7 V and needs to be driven externally. These inputs go through a set of differential amplifiers and through a V-I converter to feed the double-balanced mixers. The ac-coupled LO input to the device goes through a phase splitter to provide the in-phase and quadrature signals that in turn drive the mixers. The outputs of the mixers are then summed, converted to single-ended signals, and amplified before they are fed to the output port RFOUT. The output of the TRF3702 is ac-coupled and can drive 50- loads.

The optimal configuration depends on the end application requirements and the signal levels desired by the designer. The TRF3702 is by design a differential part, meaning that ideally the user should provide fully complementary signals. However, similar performance in every respect can be achieved if the user only has single-ended signals available. In this case, the IREF and QREF pins just need to have the VCM dc offset applied. Implementing a Single-to-Differential Conversion for the I, Q inputs In case differential I, Q signals are desired but not available, the THS4503 family of wideband, low-distortion, fully differential amplifiers can be used to provide a convenient way of performing this conversion. Even if differential signals are available, the THS4503 can provide gain in case a higher voltage swing is required. Besides featuring high bandwidth and high linearity, the THS4503 also provides a convenient way of applying the VCM to all four inputs to the modulator through the VOCM pin (pin 2). The user can further adjust the dc levels for optimum carrier suppression by injecting extra dc at the inputs to the operational amplifier, or by individually adding it to the four outputs. Figure 67 shows a typical implementation of the THS4503 as a driver for the TRF3702. Gain can be easily incorporated in the loop by adjusting the feedback resistors appropriately. For more details, see the THS4503 data sheet at www.ti.com.

The power level of the LO signal should be in the range of -6 dBm to 6 dBm. For characterization purposes, a power level of 0 dBm was chosen. An ideal way of driving the LO input of the TRF3702 is by using the TRF3750, an ultralow-phase-noise integer-N PLL from Texas Instruments. Combining the TRF3750 with an external VCO can complete the loop and provide a flexible, convenient, and cost-effective solution for the local oscillator of the transmitter. Figure 68 shows a typical application for the LO driver network that incorporates the TRF3750 integer-N PLL synthesizer into the design. Depending on the VCO output and the amount of signal loss, an optional gain stage may be added to the output of the VCO before it is applied to the TRF3702 LO input.

Typical Application Circuit for Generating the LO Signal for the TRF3702 Modulator PCB LAYOUT CONSIDERATIONS The TRF3702 is a high-performance RF device; hence, care should be taken in the layout of the PCB in order to ensure optimum performance. Proper decoupling with low-ESR ceramic chip capacitors is needed for the VCC supplies (pins 6 and 10). Typical values used are in the order of 1 pF parallel to 0.1 F, with the lower-valued capacitors placed closer to the device pins. In addition, a larger tank capacitor in the order of 10 F should be placed on the supply line as layout permits. At least a 4-layer board is recommended for the PCB. If possible, a solid ground plane and a ground pour is also recommended, as is a power plane for the supplies. Because the balance of the four I, Q inputs to the modulator can be critical to device performance, care should be taken to ensure that the trace runs for all four inputs are equal in length. In the case of single-ended drive of the I, Q inputs, the two unused pins IREF and QREF are fed with the VCM dc voltage only, and should be decoupled with a 0.1-F capacitor (or smaller). The LO input trace should be minimized in length and have controlled impedance of 50 . No external matching components are needed because there is an internal 50- termination. The RFOUT pin should also have a relatively small trace to minimize parasitics and coupling, and should also be controlled to 50 . An impedance-matching network can be used to optimize power transfer, but is not critical. All the results shown in the data sheet were taken with no impedance matching network used (RFOUT directly driving an external 50- load). The exposed thermal and ground pad on the bottom of the TRF3702 should be soldered to ground to ensure optimum electrical and thermal performance. The landing pattern on the PCB should include a solid pad and 4 thermal vias. These vias typically have 1,2-mm pitch and 0,3-mm diameter. The vias can be arranged in a 2x2 array. The thermal pad on the PCB should be at least 1,65x1,65 mm. A suggested layout is shown in Figure 69.

Board Layout for the TRF3702 Device IMPLEMENTING A DIRECT UPCONVERSION TRANSMITTER USING A TI DAC The TRF3702 is ideal for implementing a direct upconversion transmitter, where the input I, Q data can originate from an ASIC or a DAC. Texas Instruments' line of digital-to-analog converters (DAC) is ideally suited for interfacing to the TRF3702. Such DACs include, among others, the DAC290x series, DAC5672, and DAC5686. This section illustrates the use of the DAC5686, which offers a unique set of features that make interfacing to the TRF3702 easy and convenient. The DAC5686 is a 16-bit, 500 MSPS, 2x-16x interpolating dual-channel DAC, and it features I, Q adjustments for optimal interface to the TRF3702. User-selectable, 11-bit offset and 12-bit gain adjustments can optimize the carrier and sideband suppression of the modulator, resulting in enhanced performance and relaxed filtering requirements at RF. The preferred mode of operation of the DAC5686 for direct interface with the TRF3702 at baseband is the dual-DAC mode. The user also has the flexibility of selecting any one of the four possible complex spectral bands to be fed into the TRF3702. For details on the available modes and programming, see the DAC5686 data sheet available at www.ti.com. Figure 70 shows the DAC5686 in dual-DAC mode, which is best-suited for zero-IF interface to the TRF3702. In this mode, a seamless, passive interface between the DAC output and the input to the modulator is used, so that no extra components are needed between the two devices. The optimum dc offset level for the inputs to the TRF3702 (VCM) is approximately 3.7 V. The output of the DAC should be centered around 3.3 V or less (depending on signal swing), in order to ensure that its output compliance limits are not exceeded. The resistive network shown in Figure 70 allows for this dc offset transition while still providing a dc path between the DAC output and the modulator. This ensures that the dc offset adjustments on the DAC5686 can still be applied to optimize the carrier suppression at the modulator output. The combination of the DAC5686 and the TRF3702 provides a unique signal-chain solution with state-of-the-art performance for wireless infrastructure applications. 28 Submit Documentation Feedback TRF3702 www.ti.com SLWS149A - SEPTEMBER 2004 - REVISED AUGUST 2006 APPLICATION INFORMATION (continued) GND +5 V VCC 221W 221W 49.9W 49.9W Fdata A Offset IOUTA1 IVIN IREF 15W DEMUX 16-Bit DAC IOUTA2 DA[15:0] 15W A Gain +45 LO B Gain 16-Bit DAC B Offset RFOUT IOUTB1 QVIN 15W IOUTB2 QREF 49.9W DAC5686 50 15W DB[15:0] -45 221W 221W 49.9W TRF3701 PWD GND GND +5 V S0010-01 Figure 70.

The level of noise attained in combination with the superior IMD3 performance shown in Figure 40 means that the user can reach superior levels of C/N while maintaining high linearity. This combination offers the capability of delivering low levels of EVM, meeting the stringent requirements imposed by the GSM/EDGE standards.

WCDMA Applications The TRF3702 is also optimized for WCDMA applications, where both adjacent-channel power ratio (ACPR) and noise density are critically important. Figure 62 shows the noise performance of the modulator at a 60-MHz offset over temperature. In addition, Figure 72 shows the 60-MHz offset noise measured at the output of the TRF3702 versus WCDMA channel power. Using Texas Instruments' DAC568x series of high-performance digital-to-analog converters in the configuration depicted in Figure 70, state-of-the-art levels of ACPR have been measured. In each case, test model 1 was used with 64 active channels as the baseband input to the TRF3702. Figure 73 shows the performance attained for a single WCDMA carrier at 2.14 GHz, with a measured ACPR of 71.2 dBc for a channel power of -14 dBm. This unprecedented level of ACPR along with the low levels of noise at 60-MHz offset makes the TRF3702 an optimum choice for such applications. Figure 74 shows the single-carrier WCDMA ACPR performance versus channel power; it is important to note that even at high output power levels, the TRF3702 maintains great linearity, offering 64 dBc of ACPR at an output-channel power of -8 dBm. 30 Submit Documentation Feedback TRF3702 www.ti.com SLWS149A - SEPTEMBER 2004 - REVISED AUGUST 2006 APPLICATION INFORMATION (continued) NOISE AT 60-MHz OFFSET vs WCDMA CHANNEL POWER SINGLE-CARRIER WCDMA PERFORMANCE -152.0 0 -152.2 -20 fLO = 2140 MHz Channel Power = -14 dBm ACPR = 71.2 dBc -40 Power - dBm -152.6 -152.8 -153.0 -60 -80 -153.2 -100 -153.4 -153.6 -20 -15 -10 -5 -120 2125 0 2130 Channel Power - dBm 2135 2140 2145 2150 2155 f - Frequency - MHz G068 G067 Figure 72.

Further improvements in performance can be achieved by including a low-pass filter between the output of the DAC and the input to the TRF3702, based on the frequency planning and specific requirements of a given design. The combination of the TRF3702, the DAC568x, and the TRF3750 provides a unique signal-chain chipset capable of delivering state-of-the-art levels of performance for the most challenging WCDMA applications.
