DEMO MANUAL DC2091A

Description

LTC5599

30MHz to 1300MHz Low Power

Direct Quadrature Modulator

Demonstration circuit 2091A is optimized for evaluation 

of the

 low power direct quadrature modulator. 

The balanced I and Q baseband input ports can be either 

AC- or DC-coupled to a source with a common mode volt-

age level of about 1.4V. Fixed LC networks on the LO and 

RF ports cover a continuous 90MHz to 1300MHz range. 

The SPI interface controls the supply current, modulator
