HMC630LP3 / 630LP3E
v00.1007 GaAs HBT VECTOR
MODULATOR 700 -1000 MHz
Typical Applications Features The HMC630LP3(E) is ideal for: Continuous Phase Control: 360° • Wireless Infrastructure HPA &
MCPA Error Correction Continuous Gain Control: 40 dB • Pre-Distortion or Feed-Forward Linearization Low Output Noise Floor: -162 dBm/Hz
High Input IP3: +34 dBm • Cellular / 3G Systems
• Beam Forming or RF Cancellation Circuits MODULATORS -SMT 10 Functional Diagram 16 Lead 3x3mm SMT Package: 9mm2 General Description
The HMC630LP3 & HMC630LP3E are high dynamic
range Vector Modulator RFICs which are targeted
for RF predistortion and feed-forward cancellation
circuits, as well as RF beam forming and amplitude/
phase correction circuits. The I & Q ports of the
HMC630LP3(E) can be used to continuously vary
the phase and amplitude of RF signals by up to 360
degrees and 40 dB respectively, while supporting a
3 dB modulation bandwidth of 180 MHz. With an output IP3 of +24.5 dBm and output noise floor of -162
dBm/Hz (at maximum gain setting), the output IP3/
noise floor ratio is 186.5 dB. Electrical Specifi cations, TA = +25° C, Vcc= +8V
