Broadband IQ Modulators with fractional-N
synthesizers and VCO
RF Micro Devices, Inc. has launched two new low power
IQ Modulators featuring integrated fractional-N synthesizers
and voltage controlled oscillators (VCO).
The RFMD2080 and RFMD2081 can generate output frequencies
from 45MHz to 2700MHz. The applications targeted includes
satellite communications, Point-to-Point radio, software
defined radio, and other wireless and wireline applications
requiring QPSK/QAM modulators.
The RFMD2080 features a baseband interface incorporating
programmable filtering and gain control and consumes a power
of 150mA from a 3V supply. Both the RFMD2080 and RFMD2081
are programmable using a simple 3-wire serial interface
and offered in QFN 5x5mm packages.
Alastair Upton, general manager of RFMD's Broadband Components
Business Unit, said,"RFMD's new IQ Modulator products
significantly reduce implementation size and complexity,
power consumption and cost for our customers. We are very
pleased to offer these market-leading devices, which leverage
our optimal technology matching (OTM) strategy and highlight
our 'green' approach to product development and performance."
Available now both in samples and volumes.
