RF2942
UHF QUADRATURE MODULATOR
AND TRANSMITTER
• 915MHz ISM Band Products
• Digital Communications
• Quadrature Modulation
• Portable Battery-Powered Equipment
The RF2942 is an integrated power amplifier and quadra-
ture modulator IC. The quadrature modulator is driven
with a single-ended local oscillator (LO) source. The
quadrature phase generation of the LO is accomplished
using an internal passive network tuned for twice the
operating frequency. The LO frequency is at twice the RF
frequency to avoid interfering with an external synthe-
sizer.
• 2.0V to 3.6V Power Supply
• 902MHz to 928MHz Frequency Range
• 200mW Output Power
• Low LO Input Level
• Low Broadband Noise Floor
• Small Footprint
