General Description
The MAX2022 low-noise, high-linearity, direct upconversion quadrature modulator is designed for single and multicarrier 1800MHz to 2200MHz UMTS/WCDMA, cdma2000®, and DCS/PCS base-station applications. Direct upconversion architectures are advantageous since they significantly reduce transmitter cost, part count, and power consumption as compared to traditional IF-based double upconversion systems.
FEATUREs
♦ 1500MHz to 2500MHz RF Frequency Range
