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. Electrical Specifications, See Test Conditions on following page herein.

The "Uncalibrated, +25 C" Sideband and Carrier Suppression plots were measured at room temperature, while the "Uncalibrated, over Temperature" Sideband and Carrier Suppression plots represent the worst case uncalibrated suppression levels measured at T= -40 C, +25 C, and +85 C. The "Calibrated, +25 C" Sideband Suppression data was plotted after a manual adjustment of the I/Q amplitude balance and I/Q phase offset (skew) at +25 C, and at each LO input power level. The +25 C adjustment settings were held constant during tests over temperature. The "Calibrated, over Temperature" plots represent the worst case calibrated Sideband Suppression levels at T= -40 C, +25 C, and +85 C. The "Calibrated, +25 C" Carrier Suppression data was plotted after a manual adjustment of the Ip/In & Qp/Qn DC offsets at +25 C, and at each LO input power level. The +25 C adjustment settings were held constant during tests over temperature. The "Calibrated, over Temperature" plots represent the worst case Carrier Suppression levels measured at T= -40 C, +25 C, and +85 C. modulators - direct quadrature - SMT Baseband Input Port Interfacing the HMC697LP4(E) with D/A Converters The HMC697LP4(E) wideband I/Q modulator is suitable to interface with high-speed D/A converters (DAC) to transmit complex modulation schemes.
