Overall Device Description
The HFA3726 is a highly integrated baseband converter for half
duplex wireless data applications. It features all the necessary
blocks for baseband modulation and demodulation of “I” and
“Q”quadraturemultiplexingsignals.Ittargetsapplicationsusing
all phase shift types of modulation (PSK) due to its hard limiting
receivingfrontend.Fourfullyindependentblocksaddsflexibility
for numerous applications covering a wide range of IF
frequencies. A differential design architecture, device pin out
and layout have been chosen to improve system RF properties
such as common mode signal immunity (noise, crosstalk),
reduce relevant parasitics, settling times and optimize dynamic
range for low power requirements. Single power supply
requirements from 2.7V
DC
to 5.5V
DC
makes the HFA3726 a
good choice for portable transceiver designs.
The HFA3726 has a two stage integrated limiting IF amplifier
with frequency response to 400MHz. These amplifiers
exhibit a -84dBm, -3dB cascaded limiting sensitivity with a
built in Receive Signal Strength Indicator (RSSI) covering
60dB of dynamic range with excellent linearity. An up
conversion and down conversion pair of quadrature doubly
balanced mixers are available for “I” and “Q” baseband IF
processing. These converters are driven by an internal
quadrature LO generator which has a broadband response
with excellent quadrature properties. To achieve broadband
operation, the Local Oscillator frequency input is required to
be twice the desired frequency for modulation/demodulation.
Duty cycle and signal purity requirements for the 2X LO input
using this type of quadrature architecture are less restrictive
