DESCRIPTION AND APPLICATIONS
The ISG4042-T is an RF tuner/transmitter designed for use in
DOCSIS cable modem applications. It is a complete solution
that interfaces directly with QAM Mod/Demod IC's. The tuner/
transmitter integrates a diplex filter, dual conversion receiver,
transmit AGC amplifier, and other RF filtering (see Figure 1).
The diplex filter provides over 40 dB of isolation between the
TX band and the RX band. The receiver channel selects and
converts QAM signals in the RX band down to the IF sampling
frequency. It also provides the necessary gain control to adjust
the input power to the DSP chip. The RF transmitter section
provides > 56 dB of digitally controlled range while maintaining
excellent linearity performance.
