ISIG P
In phase I channel positive baseband input port. Best performance is achieved when the ISIGP and ISIGN are driven differentially. The recommended CW differential drive level (VISIGP -VISIGN) is 800mVP-P. This input should be DC-biased at 1.2V0.05V. The common-mode DC coltage on the ISIGP and ISIGN input signals is used to bias the modulator. In sleep mode an internal FET switch is opened, the input goes high impedance and the modulator is de-biased. The input impedance is typically 5.5k at low frequencies and at higher frequencies can be modeled as 50 in series with 12pF to ground. Phase or amplitude errors between the ISIGP and ISIGN signals may result in the even order distortion of the modulation in the output spectrum. DC offsets between the ISIGP and ISIGN signals will result in increased carrier leakage. Small DC offsets may be deliberately applied between the ISIGP/ISIGN and QSIGP/QSIGN inputs to cancel out LO leakage. The optimum corrective DC offsets will change with mode, frequency and gain control. Common-mode noise on the ISIGP and ISGN should be kept low as it may degrade the noise performance of the modulator. Phase offsets may be applied between the I and Q channels to improve the sideband suppression performance. In phase I channel negative baseband input port. See ISIGP.

Pin 7 Function LOLB Description Interface Schematic
Local oscillator input low band. LO LB This input is biased internally at around 1.6V when the chip is in low band mode and 0V when the chip is in high band mode or powered down. The LO signal typically needs to be AC coupled. The noise performance, carrier suppression at low output powers and sideband suppression are all a function of LO power. The optimum LO power is between 0dBm and 3dBm. G N D LO The device will work with LO powers as low as -20dBm however this is at the expense of higher noise performance at high output powers and poorer sideband suppression. Ground return for the local oscillator input signals. See pins 7 and 9. The GND LO pin is effectively the complementary LO input for both the high band and low band LO signals. It has significant amounts of LO signal flowing through it. This pin is brought out as an independent ground to enable the PCB board designer to isolate the LO return from the RF outputs ground and the general chip ground. It is recommended that this ground is kept isolated from the die flag ground. Any connections between the GND LO and any other ground should be made through a ground plane. Local oscillator input high band. LO H B This input is biased internally at around 1.6V when the chip is in high band mode and 0V when the chip is in low band mode or powered down. The LO HB signal typically needs to be AC coupled. The noise performance, carrier suppression at low output powers and sideband suppression are all a function of LO power. The optimum LO power is between 0dBm and 3dBm. G N D LO The device will work with LO powers as low as -20dBm however this is at the expense of higher noise performance at high output powers and poorer sideband suppression. Ground for LO buffers.

Pin 13 Function QSIG P Description
Quadrature Q channel positive baseband input port. Best performance is achieved when the ISIGP and ISIGN are driven differentially. The recommended CW differential drive level (VQSIGP -VQSIGN) is 800mVP-P. This input should be DC-biased at 1.2V0.05V. The common-mode DC voltage on the QSIGP and QSIGN input signals is used to bias the modulator. In sleep mode an internal FET switch is opened, the input goes high impedance and the modulator is de-biased. The input impedance is typically 5.5k at low frequencies and at higher frequencies can be modeled as 50 in series with 12pF to ground. Phase or amplitude errors between the QSIGP and QSIGN signals which may result in an increase in the even order distortion of the modulation in the output spectrum. DC offsets between the QSIGP and QSIGN signals will result in an increased carrier leakage. Small DC offsets may be deliberately applied between the ISIGP/ISIGN and QSIGP/QSIGN inputs to cancel out the LO leakage. The optimum corrective DC offsets will change with mode, frequency and gain control. Common-mode noise on the QSIGP and QSIGN should be kept low as it may degrade the noise performance of the modulator. Phase offsets may be applied between the I and Q channels to improve the sideband suppression performance. Voltage reference decouple with an external 10nF capacitor to ground. The voltage on this pin is typically 1.67V when the chip is enabled. The voltage is 0V when the chip is powered down. The purpose of this decoupling capacitor is to filter out low frequency noise (20MHz) on the gain control lines. Poor positioning of the VREF decoupling capacitor can cause a degradation in LO leakage. A voltage of around 2.5V on this pin indicates that the die flag under the chip is not grounded and the chip is not biased correctly. Voltage reference decouple with an external 1nF decoupling capacitor to ground. The voltage on this pin is a function of gain control (GC) voltage when the chip is enabled. The voltage is 0V when the chip is powered down. The purpose of this decoupling capacitor is to filter out low frequency noise (20MHz) on the gain control lines. The size of the capacitor on the GC DEC line will effect the settling time response to a change in gain control voltage. A 1nF capacitor equates to around 200ns settling time and a 0.5nF capacitor equates to a 100ns settling time. There is a trade-off between settling time and noise contributions by the gain control circuitry as gain control is applied. Poor positioning of the VREF decoupling capacitor can cause a degradation in LO leakage. Gain control voltage. Maximum output power at 2.0V. Minimum output power at 0V. When the chip is enabled the input impedance is 10k referenced to 1.7VDC. When the chip is powered down a FET switch is opened and the input goes high impedance.

RF OUT LB
RF low band output. Open collector output. The output should be biased at VCC through an inductor that can be used to form part of an output matching circuit. In our proposed applications circuit some power is dissipated in R6 (130) which appears as a de-Qing resistor in parallel with the output inductor L4. If R6 is eliminated and the RFOUT LB pin is re-matched to 50 it is possible to get approximately 5dB extra power out of the device in low band mode. Ground for RF output sections.

Application Notes
The baseband inputs must be driven with balanced differential signals. We suggest amplitude and phase matching <0.5dB and <0.5. Phase or gain imbalances between the complementary input signals will cause additional distortion including some second order baseband distortion. The common-mode voltage on the baseband inputs should be well controlled at 1.2V. We suggest that the common-mode DC voltage be 1.2V+0.05V. The common-mode DC voltage is used to bias the modulator; hence, deviations from 1.2V will result in changes in the current consumption, noise and intermodulation performance. The chip is designed to be driven with a single-ended LO signal. The GC DEC and VREF output pins should be decoupled to ground. We recommend a 10nF capacitor on VREF, and a 1nF capacitor on GC DEC. The purpose of this capacitor is to filter out low frequency noise (20MHz) in the gain control lines, which may cause noise on the RF signal. The capacitor on the GC DEC line will effect the settling time response to a change in power control voltage. A 1nF capacitor equates to around a 200ns settling time, and a 0.5nF capacitor equates to a 100ns settling time. There is a trade-off between settling time and phase noise as you start to apply gain control. The ground lines for the LO sections, GNDLO and GND1, are brought out of the chip independently from the ground to the RF and modulator sections. This isolates the LO signals from the RF output sections. The GND LO pin is effectively the complementary LO input for both the high band and low band LO signals. It has significant amounts of LO signal flowing through it. This is brought out as an independent ground to try to enable the PCB board designer to isolate the LO return from the RF output sections and general chip ground. The RF output ports of the RF2483 consist of open collector architecture and require pull up inductors to the supply voltage. This, in conjunction with a DC blocking capacitor provides a simple, broadband L-match network as shown in the schematic diagram. A shunt resistor is included to control the Q of the matching network and set the modulator output power. In this case, both outputs were designed to provide 0dBm. An alternate output match containing a third harmonic trap was evaluated. This circuit uses a tapped-C matching network, whereby the shunt C provides a low impedance path near the third harmonic frequency. Although an additional component is required, the benefit of suppressing the third harmonic distortion may improve overall system intermodulation. This network has been shown to provide better than 20dB of improved suppression in high-band mode.
