The HFA3766 is a highly integrated baseband converter for quadrature modulation applications. It features all the necessary blocks for baseband modulation and demodulation of I and Q signals. It has a two stage integrated AGC IF amplifier with 82dB of voltage gain and 76dB of gain control range. Baseband antialiasing is integrated into the design. Four filter bandwidths are programmable via a two bit digital control interface. In addition, these filters are continuously tunable over a ±20 frequency range via one external resistor. For baseband modulation digital I and Q data are delivered to the transmit section. To achieve broadband operation, the Local Oscillator frequency input is required to be twice the desired frequency of modulation and demodulation. A selectable buffered divide by 2 LO output and a stable reference voltage are provided for convenience of the user. The device is housed in a thin 80 lead TQFP package well suited for PCMCIA board applications. ™
