Description
The W3011 1 GHz Quadrature Modulator is a
monolithic integrated circuit that provides direct
modulation of an RF carrier by I & Q baseband
inputs. It is particularly suited for use in mobile and
handheld cellular telephones designed to the IS-136
(North American 824 MHz to 849 MHz), PDC
(Japan RCR-STD27 889 MHz to 958 MHz), and
other digital personal-communications standards.
The circuit block diagram is shown in Figure 1. From
two LO signals, LOL and LOH, the offset mixer
produces an internal LO signal, which prevents the
external VCOs from being pulled by the large
transmitted signal. The phase shifter splits the LO
signal into two carriers with 90 phase separation
and equal amplitude.
These signals are fed to the in-phase (I) and
quadrature-phase (Q) double-balanced mixers. The
resulting signals are summed and fed into the output
amplifier. This amplifier can provide 0 dBm linear
output power, minimum, into a 50
load.
The output power can be attenuated up to 50 dB by
applying a control voltage to the APC input.
Nominally, the output power is at maximum
(+3 dBm) with V
APC
> 2.2 V, and at minimum
(50 dBm) with V
APC
< 0.8 V.
A CMOS/TTL-compatible logic input allows the
device to be put into a powerdown mode in which
less than 10 A of supply current is consumed.

Absolute Maximum Ratings
Stresses in excess of the absolute maximum ratings can cause permanent damage to the device. These are
absolute stress ratings only, as shown in Table 2. Functional operation of the device is not implied at these or
any other conditions in excess of those given in the operations sections of the data sheet. Exposure to absolute
maximum ratings for extended periods can adversely affect device reliability.

Handling Precautions
Although protection circuitry has been designed into this device, proper precautions should be taken to avoid
exposure to electrostatic discharge (ESD) during handling and mounting. Lucent Technologies Microelectronics
Group employs a human-body model (HBM) and a charged-device model (CDM) for ESD-susceptibility testing
and protection design evaluation. ESD voltage thresholds are dependent on the circuit parameters used to define
the model. No industry-wide standard has been adopted for CDM. However, a standard HBM (resistance =
1500
, capacitance = 100 pF) is widely used and, therefore, can be used for comparison purposes. The HBM
ESD threshold presented here was obtained by using these circuit parameters:

Explanation of Error Vector Magnitude (EVM) Testing
Error vector magnitude (EVM) is estimated by feeding signals to the W3011 as described above in Table 5.

12589e6 + 3162e6 + 251e6 + 316e6 + 794e6]/1000e3
= 2.18%
This approximates worst-case digital modulation results, because the sine-wave modulation estimate assumes all
spurious outputs are in phase and adds their magnitudes as scalars. In addition, this estimate includes full-
amplitude measurements of spurious peaks that would appear in adjacent and alternate channels, where a
receiver would otherwise provide attenuation. The L3 third-order intermodulation peak and LSB (lower sideband)
are normally the unwanted output frequencies that dominate the EVM estimate.

Matching: Basic Open Collector Termination
The W3011 RF output uses an open collector output architecture. To operate properly, this requires that dc bias
current be provided through the output pin (pin 17). Thus, the output matching network must always provide a
shunt dc connection to the positive power supply. Examples of such a connection include a shunt-matching
inductor or a shunt RF choke. Figure 4 illustrates a simple RF
OUT
matching configuration.

Figure 4. W3011 RF Output Diagram
Offset Mixer
W3011 with Offset Mixer Disabled
If the offset mixer in the W3011 is not required for the frequency plan, the offset mixer may be turned off by
connecting the positive supply (V
CC
) to any or all of pins 11 (LOHN), 12 (LOHP), 13 (LOLN), or 14 (LOLP), as
illustrated in Figure 5 below. Disabling the offset mixer reduces current consumption 2 mA to 3 mA. If pin 11 is
connected to V
CC
, pins 12, 13, and 14 must be connected to V
CC
or no-connect (NC). Connect the RF VCO to
either pin 9 or pin 10 through a low-impedance coupling capacitor, and connect the unused pin (10 or 9) through
a similar capacitor to ground.

W3011 Using Offset Mixer
If the W3011 offset mixer is required, two VCOs must be connected (see Figure 6). A low-frequency (VHF)
oscillator may be dc-coupled to either pin 13 (LOLN) or pin 14 (LOLP) if the VCO contains a dc-blocking
capacitor at its output. Otherwise, use a low-impedance series capacitor between the VCO output and the LOL
input. The other LOL pin must be dc-grounded (no external capacitor for the grounded pin). As shown in Figure
1, there is a 50
termination resistor on chip, connected between pins 13 and 14.
In the same way, as shown in Figure 6, one of the pins 11 (LOHN) or 12 (LOHP) must be connected to dc
ground. The other pin is connected to a high-frequency (UHF) VCO, using either dc coupling (if the VCO contains
a dc-blocking capacitor at its output) or a low-impedance series-coupling capacitor. There is also a 50
termination resistor on chip connected between pins 11 and 12.
When the offset mixer is used, it is necessary to filter the offset mixer output signal with a parallel-tuned LC filter
between pins 9 and 10. The resonant frequency of this filter should be approximately the center of the transmit
RF band (for example, about 920 MHz for PDC 800). The filter should be adjusted for lowest EVM at RFOUT.
