MODULATORS AND
UPCONVERTERS
The RF2668 is an integrated complete quadrature modulator, IF AGC amplifier, upconverter, and PLL, designed
for the transmit section of dual-mode CDMA/FM cellular,
PCS, and tri-mode CDMA applications. It is designed to
modulate baseband I and Q signals, amplify the resulting
IF signals while providing 95dB of gain control range, and
perform the final upconversion to UHF. Noise Figure, IP3,
and other specifications are designed to be compatible
with the IS-98 Interim Standard. This circuit is designed
as part of RFMD’s newest CDMA chipset, which also
includes the RF2667 CDMA/FM Receive IF AGC and
Demodulator. The IC is manufactured on an advanced
18GHz FT Silicon Bipolar process, and is supplied in a
48-lead plastic LQFP package.

Supply for the mixer stage only. The supply for the mixer is separated to
maximize IF to RF isolations and reduce the carrier leakage. A 10nF
external bypass capacitor is required. The trace length between the pin
and the bypass capacitors should be minimized. The ground side of the
bypass capacitors should connect immediately to ground plane.
One half of the balanced mixer LO2 input. In single-ended applications,
the other half of the input, LO2- is AC grounded. This is a 50Ω impedance port. This pin is NOT internally DC-blocked. An external blocking
capacitor (100pF recommended) must be provided if the pin is connected to a device with DC present.
One half of the balance mixer LO2 input. In single ended applications,
