RF9938
PCS UPCONVERTER/BPSK MODULATOR
• CDMA/TDMA/DCS1900 PCS Systems
• PHS 1500/ WLAN 2400 Systems
• General Purpose Upconverter
• BPSK Modulation
• Micro-Cell PCS Base Stations
• Portable Battery-Powered Equipment
The RF9938 is a complete upconverter designed for PCS
applications. The IC contains a double-balanced mixer
stage and an output buffer amplifier stage. This device
may also be used to directly BPSK modulate a carrier.
The mixer is a Gilbert cell with emitter degeneration resis-
tors to provide high IP3. The output stage is a class-B,
push-pull configuration to reduce the overall current and
still provide a good 50
Ω output match. The unit operates
at 3.6V and is designed as part of the RFMD PCS CDMA
Chip Set, consisting of a Transmit IF AGC Amp, this
Transmit Upconverter, a Receive LNA/Mixer, and a
Receive IF AGC Amp.
• Supports Dual Mode Operation
• +8dBm Output Intercept Point
• Single 3.6V Power Supply
• Internally Matched Inputs and Outputs
• Buffered Output
• Double-Balanced Mixer
