TRF3703-17 Quadrature Modulator Evaluation Module

The TRF3703-17 is a low-noise, direct quadrature modulator, capable of converting complex modulated signals from baseband or IF directly up to RF. The TRF3703-17 is a high-performance, superior-linearity device that is ideal for RF frequencies of 400 MHz through 4 GHz. For optimum linearity performance, the device is operated at a 1.7-V common-mode voltage. This document outlines the basic procedure for connecting the EVM to test equipment for basic testing. It also illustrates the measurement parameters related to intercept point, sideband suppression, and carrier rejection that are common to modulator devices.
