Detailed Description
The MAX2045/MAX2046/MAX2047 provide vector
adjustment through the differential I/Q amplifiers. Each
part is optimized for separate frequency ranges:
MAX2045 for f
IN
= 2040MHz to 2240MHz, MAX2046 for
f
IN
= 1740MHz to 2060MHz, and MAX2047 for f
IN
=
790MHz to 1005MHz. All three devices can be inter-
faced using current- and/or voltage-mode DACs.
The MAX2045/MAX2046/MAX2047 accept differential
RF inputs, which are internally phase shifted 90
degrees to produce differential I/Q signals. The phase
and magnitude of each signal can then be adjusted
using the voltage- and/or current-control inputs.
Figure 1 shows a typical operating circuit when using
both current- and voltage-mode DACs. When using
only one of the two, leave the unused I/Q inputs open.
RF Ports
The RF input and output ports require external matching
for optimal performance. See Figures 1 and 2 for appro-
priate component values. The output ports require
external biasing. In Figures 1 and 2, the outputs are
biased through the balun (T2). The RF input ports can
be driven differentially or single ended (Figures 1, 2)
using a balun. The matching values for the MAX2045/
MAX2046 were set to be the same during characteriza-
tion. An optimized set of values can be found in the
MAX2045/MAX2046/MAX2047 Evaluation Kit
data
sheet.
I/Q Inputs
The control amplifiers convert a voltage, current, or
voltage and current input to a predistorted voltage that
controls the multipliers. The I/Q voltage-mode inputs
can be operated differentially (Figure 1) or single
ended (Figure 2). A 2.5V reference is provided on-chip
for single-ended operation.
