v05.0811
HMC496LP3 / 496LP3E
General Description
Features
Functional Diagram
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.
Wideband RF Frequency Range
High Carrier Suppression: 34 dBc
Very Low Noise Floor: -157 dBm/Hz
Low LO Power: -3 to +6 dBm
Differential or Single Ended LO Drive
Single Low Current Supply: +3.0V@ 93 mA
3 x 3 mm QFN SMT Plastic Package
Typical Applications
The HMC496LP3 / HMC496LP3E is suitable for
various modulation systems:
• Fixed Wireless or WLL
• U-NII Radios
• 802.11a & HiperLAN WLAN
• C-band Microwave Radios

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

The circuit board used in the nal application should
use RF circuit design techniques. Signal lines
should have 50 ohm impedance while the package
ground leads and exposed paddle should be con-
nected directly to the ground plane similar to that
shown. A sufficient number of via holes should be
used to connect the top and bottom ground planes.
The evaluation circuit board shown is available from

Note:
Baseband input frequency range is dependent on value of C3, C4, C7 and C8. The value of 10 pF was chosen to give a typical
response of DC - 250 MHz. Input frequency range can be extended up to 3 GHz with possible degradation of LO leakage and
broadband noise oor response by decreasing the value of C3, C4, C7 & C8.
