CHM1483-QFG
12-16GHz Direct Quadrature Modulator
GaAs Monolithic Microwave IC in SMD leadless package
Description
The CHM1483-QFG is a packaged 12-
16GHz direct quadrature modulator which
integrates a double-balanced mixer (LO
suppression and Image Rejection) and a LO
buffer. It can be used for both LSB and USB
configurations.
The circuit is mainly dedicated to Point to
Point and Point to Multi-Point systems and
also well suited for a wide range of
microwave applications.
The circuit is manufactured with a pHEMT
process, 0.5µm gate length.
It is supplied in RoHS compliant SMD
package.

Device thermal performances
All the figures given in this section are obtained assuming that the QFN device is cooled
down only by conduction through the package thermal pad (no convection mode considered).
The temperature is monitored at the package back-side interface (Tcase) as shown below.
The system maximum temperature must be adjusted in order to guarantee that Tcase
remains below the maximum value specified in the next table. So, the system PCB must be
designed to comply with this requirement.
A derating must be applied on the dissipated power if the Tcase temperature cannot be
maintained below the maximum temperature specified (see the curve Pdiss. Max) in order to
guarantee the nominal device life time (MTTF).
