GENERAL DESCRIPTION
The AD8340 vector modulator performs arbitrary amplitude
and phase modulation of an RF signal. Because the RF signal
path is linear, the original modulation is preserved. This part
can be used as a general-purpose RF modulator, a variable
attenuator/phase shifter, or a remodulator. The amplitude can
be controlled from a maximum of −2 dB to less than −32 dB,
and the phase can be shifted continuously over the entire 360°
range. For maximum gain, the AD8340 delivers an OP1dB
of 11 dBm, an OIP3 of 24 dBm, and an output noise floor of
−149 dBm/Hz, independent of phase. It operates over a fre-
quency range of 700 MHz to 1.0 GHz.
The baseband inputs in Cartesian I and Q format control the
amplitude and phase modulation imposed on the RF input
signal. Both I and Q inputs are dc-coupled with a ±500 mV
differential full-scale range. The maximum modulation band-
width is 230 MHz, which can be reduced by adding external
capacitors to limit the noise bandwidth on the control lines.

DSOP
Both the RF inputs and outputs can be used differentially or
single-ended and must be ac-coupled. The RF input and output
impedances are nominally 50 Ω over the operating frequency
range. The DSOP pin allows the output stage to be disabled
quickly to protect subsequent stages from overdrive. The
AD8340 operates off supply voltages from 4.75 V to 5.25 V
while consuming approximately 130 mA.
The AD8340 is fabricated using the Analog Devices, Inc.
proprietary, high performance 25 GHz SOI complementary
bipolar IC process. It is available in a 24-lead RoHS-compliant
LFCSP package and operates over a −40°C to +85°C tempera-
ture range. Evaluation boards are available.
