1. Description  
The U2790B is a 1000-MHz quadrature modulator using Atmel

®

’s advanced UHF pro-  
cess. It features a frequency range from 100 MHz up to 1000 MHz, low current  
consumption, and single-ended RF and LO ports. Adjustment-free application makes  
the direct converter suitable for all digital radio systems up to 1000 MHz, e.g., GSM,  
ADC, JDC.

8. Application
 
Notes  
8.1  
Noise Floor and Settling Time  
In order to reduce noise on the power-up control input and improve the wide-off noise floor of the  
900-MHz RF output signal, capacitor C

PU

should be connected from pin 6 to ground in the  
shortest possible way.  
The settling time has to be considered for the system under design. For GSM applications, a  
value of C

PU

= 1 nF defines a settling time, t

sPU

, equal or less than 3 ms. This capacitance does  
not have any influence on the noise floor within the relevant GSM mask. For mobile applications  
the mask requirements can be achieved very easily without C

PU

.  
A significant improvement of the wide-off noise floor is obtainable with C

PU

greater than 100 nF.  
Such values are recommended for applications where the settling time is not critical such as in  
base stations. Coupling capacitors for LO

i

and RF

O

also have a certain impact on the settling  
time. The values used for the measurements are CLO

i

= 100 pF and C

RFo

= 1 nF.  
8.2  
Baseband Coupling  
The U2790B-FP (SO16) has an integrated biasing network which allows AC coupling of the  
baseband signal at a low count of external components. The bias voltage is 2.5V ±0.15V.  
Figure 7-17
shows the baseband input circuitry with a resistance of 3.2 k
Ω
for each asymmetric  
input. The internal DC offset between A and A, and B and B is typically < ±1 mV with a maximum  
of ±3 mV. DC coupling is also possible with an external DC voltage of 2.5 ±0.15V.
