DESCRIPTION
The TRF370417 is a low-noise direct quadrature modulator, capable of converting complex modulated signals
from baseband or IF directly up to RF. The TRF370417 is a high-performance, superior-linearity device that
operates at RF frequencies of 50 MHz through 6 GHz. The modulator is implemented as a double-balanced
mixer. The RF output block consists of a differential to single-ended converter and an RF amplifier capable of
driving a single-ended 50-Ω load without any need of external components. The TRF370417 requires a 1.7-V
common-mode voltage for optimum linearity performance.

This integrated circuit can be damaged by ESD. Texas Instruments recommends that all integrated circuits be handled with
appropriate precautions. Failure to observe proper handling and installation procedures can cause damage.
ESD damage can range from subtle performance degradation to complete device failure. Precision integrated circuits may be more
susceptible to damage because very small parametric changes could cause the device not to meet its published specifications.

APPLICATION INFORMATION AND EVALUATION BOARD
Basic Connections
•
•
•
•
•
•
•
•
•
See Figure 47 for proper connection of the TRF3704 modulator.
Connect a single power supply (4.5 V–5.5 V) to pins 18 and 24. These pins should be decoupled as shown
on pins 4, 5, 6, and 7.
Connect pins 2, 5, 8, 11, 12, 14, 17, 19, 20, and 23 to GND.
Connect a single-ended LO source of desired frequency to LOP (amplitude between –5 dBm and 12 dBm).
This should be ac-coupled through a 100-pF capacitor.
Terminate the ac-coupled LON with 50 Ω to GND.
Connect a baseband signal to pins 21 = I, 22 = I, 10 = Q, and 9 = Q.
The differential baseband inputs should be set to the proper common-mode voltage of 1.7V.
RF_OUT, pin 16, can be fed to a spectrum analyzer set to the desired frequency, LO ± baseband signal. This
pin should also be ac-coupled through a 100-pF capacitor.
All NC pins can be left floating.
ESD Sensitivity
RF devices may be extremely sensitive to electrostatic discharge (ESD). To prevent damage from ESD, devices
should be stored and handled in a way that prevents the build-up of electrostatic voltages that exceed the rated
level. Rated ESD levels should also not be exceeded while the device is installed on a printed circuit board
(PCB). Follow these guidelines for optimal ESD protection:
• Low ESD performance is not uncommon in RF ICs; see the Absolute Maximum Ratings table. Therefore,
customers’ ESD precautions should be consistent with these ratings.
• The device should be robust once assembled onto the PCB unless external inputs (connectors, etc.) directly
connect the device pins to off-board circuits.

GSM Applications
The TRF370417 is suited for GSM and multicarrier GSM applications because of its high linearity and low noise
level over the entire recommended operating range. It also has excellent EVM performance, which makes it ideal
for the stringent GSM/EDGE applications.
WCDMA Applications
The TRF370417 is also optimized for WCDMA applications where both adjacent-channel power ratio (ACPR)
and noise density are critically important. Using Texas instruments’ DAC568X series of high-performance
digital-to-analog converters as depicted in Figure 49, excellent ACPR levels were measured with one-, two-, and
four-WCDMA carriers. See Electrical Characteristics, fLO = 1960 MHz and fLO = 2140 MHz for exact ACPR
values.

DAC-to-Modulator Interface Network
For optimum linearity and dynamic range, the digital-to-analog converter (DAC) can interface directly with the
modulator; however, the common-mode voltage of each device must be maintained. A passive interface circuit is
used to transform the common-mode voltage of the DAC to the desired set-point of the modulator. The passive
circuit invariably introduces some insertion loss between the two devices. In general, it is desirable to keep the
insertion loss as low as possible to achieve the best dynamic range. Figure 50 shows the passive interconnect

circuit for two different topologies. One topology is used when the DAC (e.g., DAC568x) common mode is larger
than the modulator. The voltage Vee is nominally set to ground, but can be set to a negative voltage to reduce the
insertion loss of the network. The second topology is used when the DAC (e.g., DAC56x2) common mode is
smaller than the modulator. Note that this passive interconnect circuit is duplicated for each of the differential I/Q
branches.

DEFINITION OF SPECIFICATIONS
Unadjusted Carrier Feedthrough
This specification measures the amount by which the local oscillator component is suppressed in the output
spectrum of the modulator. If the common mode voltage at each of the baseband inputs is exactly the same and
there was no dc imbalance introduced by the modulator, the LO component would be naturally suppressed. DC
offset imbalances in the device allow some of the LO component to feed through to the output. Because this
phenomenon is independent of the RF output power and the injected LO input power, the parameter is
expressed in absolute power, dBm.
Adjusted (Optimized) Carrier Feedthrough
This differs from the unadjusted suppression number in that the baseband input dc offsets are iteratively adjusted
around their theoretical value of VCM to yield the maximum suppression of the LO component in the output
spectrum. This is measured in dBm.
Unadjusted Sideband Suppression
This specification measures the amount by which the unwanted sideband of the input signal is suppressed in the
output of the modulator, relative to the wanted sideband. If the amplitude and phase within the I and Q branch of
the modulator were perfectly matched, the unwanted sideband (or image) would be naturally suppressed.
Amplitude and phase imbalance in the I and Q branches results in the increase of the unwanted sideband. This
parameter is measured in dBc relative to the desired sideband.
Adjusted (Optimized) Sideband Suppression
This differs from the unadjusted sideband suppression in that the gain and phase of the baseband inputs are
iteratively adjusted around their theoretical values to maximize the amount of sideband suppression. This is
measured in dBc.
Suppressions Over Temperature
This specification assumes that the user has gone though the optimization process for the suppression in
question, and set the optimal settings for the I, Q inputs. This specification then measures the suppression when
temperature conditions change after the initial calibration is done.
Figure 51 shows a simulated output and illustrates the respective definitions of various terms used in this data
sheet.
