the Hmc496lP3 & Hmc496lP3e are low noise
Wideband direct quadrature modulator rFics
which are ideal for digital modulation applications
from 4 - 7 GHz including; Wll, u-Nii, WlaN &
microwave radios.
Housed in a compact 3x3
mm (lP3) 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 matched to 50
ohms with no external components. the lo requires
-3 to +6 dBm and can be driven in either differential
or single-ended mode while the Baseband inputs
will support modulation inputs from dc - 250 mHz
typical. this device is optimized for a supply voltage
of +3V @ 93 ma and will provide stable performance
over a +2.7V to +3.3V range.

calibrated vs. uncalibrated test results
during the uncalibrated sideband and carrier suppression tests, care is taken to ensure that the i/q signal paths from
the Vector signal Generator (VsG) to the device under test (dut) are equal. 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 +25c, and an lo input power level of + 3 dBm. this adjustment setting was
held constant during tests over lo input power level and 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 an lo input power level of + 3 dBm. this adjustment setting was held constant during tests
over lo input power level and temperature. the “calibrated, over temperature” plots represent the worst case carrier
suppression levels measured at t= -40 °c, +25 °c, and +85 °c.
Note 1: When I leads Q, the output spectrum results in lower sideband as the desired signal.
