Data Sheet September 1999 W3011 1 GHz Quadrature Modulator Features modulation of an RF carrier by I & Q baseband inputs. It is particularly suited for use in mobile and handheld cellular telephones designed to the IS-136 (North American 824 MHz to 849 MHz), PDC (Japan RCR-STD27 889 MHz to 958 MHz), and other digital personal-communications standards. + Guaranteed performance at 2.7 V power supply + Output power of 3 dBm into 50 load (singleended) with 3 V operation + Direct RF modulation with or without offset mixer The circuit block diagram is shown in Figure 1. From two LO signals, LOL and LOH, the offset mixer produces an internal LO signal, which prevents the external VCOs from being pulled by the large transmitted signal. The phase shifter splits the LO signal into two carriers with 90 phase separation and equal amplitude. + Automatic power control (APC) capability + Accurate 90 phase shifter for carrier + Double-balanced active mixers minimize carrier feedthrough (origin offset) + Low-current sleep mode These signals are fed to the in-phase (I) and quadrature-phase (Q) double-balanced mixers. The resulting signals are summed and fed into the output amplifier. This amplifier can provide 0 dBm linear output power, minimum, into a 50 load. Applications + PDC 800 and American digital cellular mobile terminals The output power can be attenuated up to 50 dB by applying a control voltage to the APC input. Nominally, the output power is at maximum (+3 dBm) with VAPC > 2.2 V, and at minimum (-50 dBm) with VAPC < 0.8 V. + Cellular base stations Description A CMOS/TTL-compatible logic input allows the device to be put into a powerdown mode in which less than 10 A of supply current is consumed.

These are absolute stress ratings only, as shown in Table 2. Functional operation of the device is not implied at these or any other conditions in excess of those given in the operations sections of the data sheet. Exposure to absolute maximum ratings for extended periods can adversely affect device reliability. Table 2.

Lucent Technologies Microelectronics Group employs a human-body model (HBM) and a charged-device model (CDM) for ESD-susceptibility testing and protection design evaluation. ESD voltage thresholds are dependent on the circuit parameters used to define the model. No industry-wide standard has been adopted for CDM. However, a standard HBM (resistance = 1500 , capacitance = 100 pF) is widely used and, therefore, can be used for comparison purposes. The HBM ESD threshold presented here was obtained by using these circuit parameters: ESD Threshold Voltage Model Rating HBM 2000 CDM (corner pins) CDM (noncorner pins) 500 500 Lucent Technologies Inc. 3 W3011 1 GHz Quadrature Modulator Data Sheet September 1999 Operating Ranges The W3011 operating ranges are shown in Table 3.

W3011 Sine-Wave Modulation Output Spectrum Data from this spectrum is used to estimate EVM by the formula: P(L5)/20 P(L4)/20 P(L3)/20 P(L2)/20 P(LSB)/20 EVM (%) = 100 Y [10 + 10 + 10 + 10 + 10 P(U3)/20 P(U4)/20 P(U5)/20 P(USB)/20 10 + 10 + 10 ]/10 P(U2)/20 + 10 + The data presented in the spectrum above would yield: EVM (%) = 100 Y [251e-6 + 178e-6 + 3981e-6 + 316e-6 + 12589e-6 + 3162e-6 + 251e-6 + 316e-6 + 794e-6]/1000e-3 = 2.18% This approximates worst-case digital modulation results, because the sine-wave modulation estimate assumes all spurious outputs are in phase and adds their magnitudes as scalars. In addition, this estimate includes fullamplitude measurements of spurious peaks that would appear in adjacent and alternate channels, where a receiver would otherwise provide attenuation. The L3 third-order intermodulation peak and LSB (lower sideband) are normally the unwanted output frequencies that dominate the EVM estimate. 6 Lucent Technologies Inc. Data Sheet September 1999 W3011 1 GHz Quadrature Modulator RFOUT Matching: Basic Open Collector Termination The W3011 RF output uses an open collector output architecture. To operate properly, this requires that dc bias current be provided through the output pin (pin 17). Thus, the output matching network must always provide a shunt dc connection to the positive power supply. Examples of such a connection include a shunt-matching inductor or a shunt RF choke. Figure 4 illustrates a simple RFOUT matching configuration. VCC 20 19 18 TO TX SAW FILTER (50 ) 17 Figure 4. W3011 RF Output Diagram Offset Mixer W3011 with Offset Mixer Disabled If the offset mixer in the W3011 is not required for the frequency plan, the offset mixer may be turned off by connecting the positive supply (VCC) to any or all of pins 11 (LOHN), 12 (LOHP), 13 (LOLN), or 14 (LOLP), as illustrated in Figure 5 below. Disabling the offset mixer reduces current consumption 2 mA to 3 mA. If pin 11 is connected to VCC, pins 12, 13, and 14 must be connected to VCC or no-connect (NC). Connect the RF VCO to either pin 9 or pin 10 through a low-impedance coupling capacitor, and connect the unused pin (10 or 9) through a similar capacitor to ground.

W3011 Application with Offset Mixer Disabled Lucent Technologies Inc. 7 W3011 1 GHz Quadrature Modulator Data Sheet September 1999 Offset Mixer (continued) W3011 Using Offset Mixer If the W3011 offset mixer is required, two VCOs must be connected (see Figure 6). A low-frequency (VHF) oscillator may be dc-coupled to either pin 13 (LOLN) or pin 14 (LOLP) if the VCO contains a dc-blocking capacitor at its output. Otherwise, use a low-impedance series capacitor between the VCO output and the LOL input. The other LOL pin must be dc-grounded (no external capacitor for the grounded pin). As shown in Figure 1, there is a 50 termination resistor on chip, connected between pins 13 and 14. In the same way, as shown in Figure 6, one of the pins 11 (LOHN) or 12 (LOHP) must be connected to dc ground. The other pin is connected to a high-frequency (UHF) VCO, using either dc coupling (if the VCO contains a dc-blocking capacitor at its output) or a low-impedance series-coupling capacitor. There is also a 50 termination resistor on chip connected between pins 11 and 12. When the offset mixer is used, it is necessary to filter the offset mixer output signal with a parallel-tuned LC filter between pins 9 and 10. The resonant frequency of this filter should be approximately the center of the transmit RF band (for example, about 920 MHz for PDC 800). The filter should be adjusted for lowest EVM at RFOUT.
