Description
Agilent’s HPMX-2005 is a silicon
RFIC vector modulator housed in
a SO-16 surface mount plastic
package. This IC can be used for
direct modulation at output
frequencies from 25 to 250 MHz,
or, in combination with an
up-converting mixer, for dual or
multiple conversion modulation
to higher frequencies. The IC
contains two matched Gilbert cell
mixers, an RC phase shifter, a
summer, and an output amplifier.
This RFIC is well suited to
portable and mobile cellular
telephone applications such as
North American Digital Cellular,
GSM, and Japan Digital Cellular,
and to Personal Communications
Systems such as DCS-1800 or
handyphones. It is also useful for
applications in 900 MHz, 2.4 GHz
and 5.7 GHz ISM (Industrial-Scientific-Medical) bands requiring digital modulation, such as Local Area
Networks (LANs).
The HPMX-2005 is fabricated with
Agilent’s 25 GHz ISOSAT-II
process, which combines stepper
lithography, self-alignment, ionimplantation techniques, and gold
metallization to produce state of
the art RFICs.

HPMX-2005 Pin
Descriptions
VCC (pins 1, 2 & 16)
These three pins provide DC
power to the RFIC, and are connected together internal to the
package. They should be connected to a 5 V supply, with appropriate AC bypassing (1000 pF
typ.) used near the pins, as shown
in figures 1 and 2.The voltage on
these pins should always be
kept at least 0.8 V more positive than the DC level on any
of pins 5, 6, 11, or 12. Failure to
do so may result in the modulator
drawing sufficient current
through the data or reference inputs to damage the IC (see also
Figure 5).
Ground (pins 3, 4, 10, 13 & 14)
These pins should connect with
minimal inductance to a solid
ground plane (usually the backside of the PC board). Recommended assembly employs
multiple plated through via holes
where these leads contact the PC
board.
Iref (pin 12) and Q ref (pin 5)
Imod (pin 11) and Qmod (pin 6)
Inputs
The I and Q inputs are designed
for unbalanced operation but can
be driven differentially with similar performance. The recommended level of unbalanced I and
pins 7 and 8, as shown in figure 2.
The internal phase shifter allows
operation from 25 to 200 MHz (or
to 250 MHz by using pin 9 — see
below). The recommended LO
input level is -12 dBm. All performance data shown on this data
sheet was taken with unbalanced
LO operation.
Q signals is 1.5 Vp-p with an average level of 2.5 V above ground.
The reference pins should be DC
biased to this average data signal
level (VCC/2 or 2.5 V typ.). For
single ended drive, pins 5 and 12
can be tied together. For differential operation, 0.75 Vp-p signals
may be applied across the Imod/Iref
and the Qmod/Qref pairs. The average level of all four signals should
be about 2.5 V above ground. The
impedance between Iin or Qin and
ground is typically 10 kΩ and the
impedance between Imod and Iref
or Qmod and Qref is typically
10 kΩ. The input bandwidth typically exceeds 40 MHz. It is possible to reduce LO leakage
through the IC by applying slight
DC imbalances between Imod and
Iref and/or Qmod and Qref (see page
9). All performance data shown
on this data sheet was taken with
unbalanced I/Q inputs.
Phase Adjust (pin 9)
Applying a DC bias to this pin alters the frequency range of the internal RC phase shifter. In normal
operation, this pin is not connected. (Do not ground this pin!)
For operation at LO frequencies
above 140 MHz, superior modulation error can be achieved by connecting pin 9 to VCC (5 V). The
resulting changes in performance
are shown in figures 13 through
18. Use of pin 9 extends the
operating range to beyond
250 MHz.
LO Input (pins 7 and 8)
The LO input of the HPMX-2005 is
balanced (differential) and
matched to 50 Ω. For drive from a
unbalanced LO, pin 7 should be
AC coupled to the LO using a 50 Ω
transmission line and a blocking
capacitor (1000 pF typ.), and pin 8
should be AC grounded (1000 pF
capactitor typ.), as shown in figure 1. For drive from a differential
LO source, 50 Ω transmission
lines and blocking capacitors
(1000 pF typ.) are used on both
RF Output (pin 15)
The RF output of the HPMX-2005
is configured for unbalanced operation, and connects directly to
an emitter follower in the output
stage of the IC. The output impedance is appropriate for connection
without further impedance matching to transmission lines of
characteristic impedance between
50 Ω and 150 Ω. The reflection
coefficients are given in figure 11.
A DC blocking capacitor (1000 pF
typ.) is required on this pin.

HPMX-2005 Typical Data
Measurement
Direct measurement of the amplitude and phase error at the output
is the most accurate way to evaluate modulator performance. By
measuring the error directly, all
the harmonics, LO leakage, etc.
that show up in the output signal
are accounted for. Figure 3 below
shows the test setup that was
used to create the amplitude and
phase error plots (figures 19 and
21).
by applying 1.75 V to the I and/or
Q inputs.
bling phase readings on the network analyzer.
Amplitude and phase are measured by setting the network analyzer for an S21 measurement at
the center frequency of choice.
Set the port 1 stimulus level to the
LO level you intend to use in your
circuit (-12 dBm for the data
sheet).
The same test setup shown below
is used to measure input and output VSWR, reverse isolation, and
power vs. frequency. VImod and
VQmod are set to 3.25 V and the
appropriate frequency ranges are
swept. S11 provides input VSWR
data, S22 provides output VSWR
data and S12 provides reverse
isolation data. S21 provides power
output (add the source power to
the S21 derived gain).
By adjusting the Vi and Vq settings
you can step around the I/Q vector circle, reading magnitude and
phase at each point. The relative
values of phase and gain (amplitude) at the various points will
indicate the accuracy of the
modulator. Note: you must use
very low ripple power supplies for
the reference, VImod, and VQmod
supplies. Ripple or noise of only a
few millivolts will appear as wob-
Amplitude and phase error are
measured by using the four channel power supply to simulate I and
Q input signals. Real 1.5 Vp-p I and
Q signals would swing 0.75 volts
above and below an average 2.5 V
level, therefore, a logic “high”
level input is simulated by applying 3.25 V, and a logic “low” level

Figure 3: Test Setup for Measuring Amplitude and Phase Error, Input and Output
VSWR, Reverse Isolation and LO Leakage of the Modulator.
LO leakage data shown in figure
17 is generated by setting VImod =
VQmod = VIref = VQref = 2.5 volts then
performing an S21 sweep. Since
phase is not important for these
measurements, a scalar network
analyzer or a signal generator and
spectrum analyzer could be used.

(pin 9 open circuited) operates
over a frequency range of 25 to

pin 9, this frequency range can be
raised to beyond 250 MHz. This

Single sideband (SSB) and double

performance. Typical SSB and
DSB output spectrum graphs for
the HPMX-2005 are shown in figures 25 and 26 below. Figure 27
For accurate measurements of
modulator performance and LO
suppression, the phase shift provided by the I and Q signal generators must be very close to 90
degrees and the amplitude of the
two signals must be matched to
within a few millivolts. The I,Q
signal generator must put out low
distortion signals or the spectrum
analyzer will show high harmonic
levels that reflect the performance
of the signal generator, not the
modulator.

HPMX-2005 Using Offsets
to Improve LO Leakage
It is possible to improve on the
excellent performance of the
HPMX-2005 for applications that
are particularly sensitive to LO
leakage. The amount and nature
of the improvement are best understood by examining figures 28
and 29, below.
LO leakage results when normal
variations in the wafer fabrication
process cause small shifts in the
values of the modulator IC’s internal components. These random
variations create an effect equivalent to slight DC imbalances at the
input of each (I and Q) mixer. The
DC imbalances at the mixer inputs are multiplied by ±1 at the
LO frequency and show up at the
output of the IC as LO leakage.
It is possible to externally apply
small DC signals to the I and Q inputs and exactly cancel the internally generated DC offsets. This
will result in sharply decreased
LO leakage at precisely the frequency and temperature where
the offsets were applied (see figure 28).
This improvement is not very
useful if it doesn’t hold up over
frequency and temperature
changes. The lower curve in figure
28 shows how the offset-adjusted
LO leakage varies versus
frequency. Note that it remains
below -60 dBm over most of the
frequency range shown. In the
20 MHz range centered at
100 MHz, the level is closer to
-70 dBm.

(Lower Curve). VCC = 5 V,
LO = -12 dBm, VIref = VQref = 2.5 V.
Figure 29 shows the performance
of the offset adjusted LO leakage
over temperature. Note that the
adjusted curve is at a level near 70 dBm over the entire temperature range.
The net result of using externally applied offsets with the
HPMX-2005 is that an LO
leakage level below -50 dBm
can typically be achieved over
both frequency and
temperature.
The magnitude of the required external offset varies randomly from
part to part and between the I and
Q mixers on any given IC. Offsets
can range from -35 mV to +35 mV.
External offsets may be applied
either by varying the average level
of the I and Q modulating signals,
or by varying the voltages at the
Iref and Qref pins of the modulator.

HPMX-2005 Modulation
Spectrum Diagrams
The modulation spectra are created by setting the function generator to the appropriate bit-clock
frequency. The pattern generator
is set to produce a pseudorandom
serial bit stream (n = 20) that is
NRZ coded. The pseudorandom
bit stream which simulates the serial data in a digital phone is fed
to the base-band processor that
splits it into a two bit parallel
Figure 30, below, shows the test
set-up that was used to generate
the GSM, JDC and NADC modulation spectrum diagrams that appear on the following page. The
major differences between these
tests are summarized in the table
below.

each according to the requirements of the digital telephone system being simulated. The I and Q
signals from the baseband filter
are then DC offset by 2.5 V using
the op-amp circuit. The output of
