    User's Guide SLWU042B – October 2006 – Revised August 2008 TRF3703 Quadrature Modulator Evaluation Module Overview This document relates to the TRF3703-33 and TRF3703-15 (hereinafter referred to as TRF3703) direct quadrature modulator for applications in the transmit path of base stations and communications equipment.
  • Page 6: Trf3703 Evm Operating Procedure

    Overview www.ti.com TRF3703 EVM Operating Procedure Set up the EVM as follows: 1. Power-supply connection: a. Switch on the V (5-V) supply and set the current limit set to 235 mA. b. Connect the 5-V supply to headers W1 and W2. c.
  • Page 7: Un-Optimized Sideband Suppression

    Overview www.ti.com C003 Figure 1. Un-Optimized Sideband Suppression 1.4.1.2 Optimized Sideband Suppression There are two ways to change the sideband suppression of the TRF3703. One is the amplitude between the four inputs, and the second is the phase of the four inputs. The ideal condition is when all four inputs (I, I, Q, and Q) have exactly the same amplitude and the phase relationship is: I = 0°, I = 180°, Q = 90°, and Q = 270°.

    Overview www.ti.com C002 Figure 2. Optimized Sideband Suppression 1.4.1.3 Carrier Feedthrough Carrier feedthrough is the amount of the LO that leaks onto the output spectrum of the modulator. Ideally for the TRF3703, inputs (I, I, Q, and Q) must be at approximately 3.3 V for TRF3703-33 and 1.5 V for TRF3703-15.

    Overview www.ti.com C001 Figure 3. GSM EDGE EVM at 1800 MHz 1.4.2 Interface to TI's DAC Both the TRF3703-33 and the TRF3703-15 work well with TI's DACs. The TRF3703-33 is well suited to work with TI's DAC568X family, and the TRF3703-15 is well suited to work with TI's DAC56X2 series. Each DAC series is optimized to work at certain common-mode voltage.
