RF2485
VHF QUADRATURE MODULATOR
• Digital and Spread-Spectrum Systems
• GMSK, QPSK, DQPSK, QAM Modulation
• Private Mobile Radio and TETRA systems
• AM, SSB, DSB Modulation
• Image-Reject Upconverters
The RF2485 is a monolithic integrated universal modula-
tion system capable of generating modulated AM, PM, or
compound carriers in the VHF and UHF frequency range.
The IC contains all of the required components to imple-
ment the modulation function including differential amplifi-
ers for the baseband inputs, a 90° hybrid phase splitter,
limiting LO amplifiers, two balanced mixers, a combining
amplifier, and an output RF amplifier which will drive a
50
Ω load. Component matching, which can only be
accomplished with monolithic construction, is used to full
advantage to obtain excellent amplitude balance and high
phase accuracy. The unit features low power consump-
tion, single power supply operation and adjustment free
operation with no external parts required to operate the
part as specified.
• Single 5V Power Supply
•Low Power
• Excellent Amplitude and Phase Balance
• Extremely Low Broadband Noise Floor
• 200MHz to 600MHz Operation
