Advanced Data Sheet Product Description The Stanford Microdevices’ STQ-3016 is a direct quadrature modulator targeted for use in a wide range of communications systems. This device features a wide 2500-4000 MHz operating frequency band, excellent carrier and sideband suppression, and a low broadband noise floor. STQ-3016 2500 - 4000 MHz Direct Quadrature Modulator The STQ-3016 uses silicon germanium device technology and delivers a typical output power of -13dBm with 50dB IM3 suppression. A shutdown feature is included that, when enabled, attenuates the output by 60dB. 16 pin TSSOP with Exposed Pad Package Body: 0.20 x 0.17 x 0.04 (inches) 5.0 x 4.4 x 1.0 (mm) Functional Block Diagram Product Features BBQP 1 16 BBQN VCC 2 15 VCC VEE 3 14 VEE LOP 4 13 RFP LON 5 12 RFN VEE 6 11 VEE SD 7 10 VCC BBIP 8 9 BBIN LO QUADRATURE GENERATOR • • • • • • • • 2500-4000 MHz operating frequency No external IF filter Very low noise floor performance Excellent carrier and sideband suppression Low LO drive requirements Shut-down feature Single 5 volt supply Supports wideband baseband input Applications • • • • Digital communication system Spread spectrum communication systems GMSK, QPSK, QAM, SSB moduators Fixed wireless communication systems Key Specifications Parameters Test Conditions (Vs=5.0V, I=82mA, T=25ºC) Frequency Range Unit Min.
