Overview
The PMB 2208 contains a direct quadrature modulator and an up/down-conver-
sion mixer with corresponding bias circuitry.
The modulator splits the signal at the LO/LOX input into two orthogonal carri-
ers. The frequency of these carriers is half of the LO/LOX input frequency. The
carriers are multiplied with the baseband modulation signals at the A/AX and
B/BX inputs. The outputs of the multipliers are added and amplified by a linear
output stage. The modulated signal is available at the E/EX output. A reference
voltage is available at the TREF output, which can be used to bias the base-
band inputs.
The mixer combines the signals at the RF/RFX and IF/IFX inputs; the resulting
signal is available at the MO/MOX output. The IF/IFX input is suitable for the
lower-frequency signal because of its linear transfer function to the output. The
higher-frequency signal is applied to the RF/RFX input, which operates in
switched mode. In a typical application, the output signal of the modulator is
band-pass filtered and then fed to the IF/IFX input of the mixer.
The modulator and mixer have separate power supplies, and can be powered
down independently. The power-down concept enables the modulator to be
used with or without the mixer.
