The HFA3724 is a highly integrated baseband converter for quadrature modulation applications. It features all the necessary blocks for baseband modulation and demodulation of I and Q signals. It has a two stage integrated limiting IF amplifier with 84db of gain with a built in Receive Signal Strength Indicator (RSSI). Baseband antialiasing and shaping filters are integrated in the design. Four filter bandwidths are programmable via a two bit digital control interface. In addition, these filters are continuously tunable over a 20% frequency range via one external resistor. The modulator channel receives digital I and Q data for processing. To achieve broadband operation, the Local Oscillator frequency input is required to be twice the desired frequency of modulation/demodulation. A selectable buffered divide by 2 LO output and a stable reference voltage are provided for convenience of the user. The device is housed in a thin 80 lead TQFP package well suited for PCMCIA board applications.
