GENERAL DESCRIPTION
The AD8346 is a silicon RFIC I/Q modulator for use from
0.8 GHz to 2.5 GHz. Its excellent phase accuracy and amplitude
balance allow high performance direct modulation to RF.
This quadrature modulator can be used as the transmit mod-
ulator in digital systems such as PCS, DCS, GSM, CDMA, and
ISM transceivers. The baseband quadrature inputs are directly
modulated by the LO signal to produce various QPSK and
QAM formats at the RF output.
The differential LO input is applied to a polyphase network
phase splitter that provides accurate phase quadrature from
0.8 GHz to 2.5 GHz. Buffer amplifiers are inserted between
two sections of the phase splitter to improve the signal-to-
noise ratio. The I and Q outputs of the phase splitter drive the
LO inputs of two Gilbert-cell mixers. Two differential V-to-I
converters connected to the baseband inputs provide the
baseband modulation signals for the mixers. The outputs of
the two mixers are summed together at an amplifier which is
designed to drive a 50 Ω load.
Additionally, this quadrature modulator can be used with direct
digital synthesizers in hybrid phase-locked loops to generate
signals over a wide frequency range with millihertz resolution.
The AD8346 comes in a 16-lead TSSOP package, measuring
6.5 mm × 5.1 mm × 1.1 mm. It is specified to operate over a
−40°C to +85°C temperature range and a 2.7 V to 5.5 V supply
voltage range. The device is fabricated on Analog Devices’ high
performance 25 GHz bipolar silicon process.

AD8346
CIRCUIT DESCRIPTION
OVERVIEW
V-TO-I CONVERTER
The AD8346 can be divided into the following sections: local
oscillator (LO) interface, mixer, voltage-to-current (V-to-I)
converter, differential-to-single-ended (D-to-S) converter, and
bias. A detailed block diagram of the part is shown in Figure 25.
Each baseband input pin is connected to an op amp driving an
emitter follower. Feedback at the emitter maintains a current
proportional to the input voltage through the transistor. This
current is fed to the two mixers in differential form.
The LO interface generates two LO signals, with 90° of phase
difference between them, to drive two mixers in quadrature.
Baseband voltage signals are converted into current form in
the V-to-I converters, feeding into two mixers. The output of
the mixers are combined to feed the D-to-S converter which
provides the 50 Ω output interface. Bias currents to each
section are controlled by the Enable (ENBL) signal. Detailed
descriptions of each section follows.
MIXERS
There are two double-balanced mixers, one for the in-phase
channel (I-channel) and one for the quadrature channel
(Q channel). Each mixer uses the gilbert cell design with four
cross-connected transistors. The bases of the transistors are
driven by the LO signal of the corresponding channel. The
output currents from the two mixers are summed together in
two resistors in series with two coupled on-chip inductors. The
signal developed across the R-L loads is sent to the D-to-S stage.
LO INTERFACE
The differential LO inputs allow the user to drive the LO differ-
entially in order to achieve maximum performance. The LO can
be driven single-endedly but the LO feedthrough performance
is degraded, especially towards the higher end of the frequency
range. The LO interface consists of interleaved stages of
polyphase network phase splitters and buffer amplifiers. The
phase-splitter contains resistors and capacitors connected in a
circular manner to split the LO signal into I and Q paths in
precise quadrature with each other. The signal on each path
goes through a buffer amplifier to make up for the loss and high
frequency roll-off. The two signals then go through another
polyphase network to enhance the quadrature accuracy. The
broad operating frequency range of 0.8 GHz to 2.5 GHz is
achieved by staggering the RC time constants in each stage of
the phase-splitters. The outputs of the second phase-splitter are
fed into the driver amplifiers for the mixers’ LO inputs.
IBBP
DIFFERENTIAL-TO-SINGLE-ENDED CONVERTER
The differential-to-single-ended converter consists of two
emitter followers driving a totem-pole output stage. Output
impedance is established by the emitter resistors in the output
transistors. The output of this stage is connected to the output
(VOUT) pin.
BIAS
A band gap reference circuit based on the Δ-VBE principle
generates the proportional-to-absolute-temperature (PTAT)
currents used by the different sections as references. The band
gap voltage is also used to generate a temperature-stable current
in the V-to-I converters to produce a temperature-independent
slew rate. When the band gap reference is disabled by pulling
down the ENBL pin, all other sections are shut off accordingly.

The basic connections for operating the AD8346 are shown in
Figure 27. A single power supply of between 2.7 V and 5.5 V is
applied to pins VPS1 and VPS2. A pair of ESD protection
diodes are connected internally between VPS1 and VPS2 so
these must be tied to the same potential. Both pins should be
individually decoupled using 100 pF and 0.01 μF capacitors,
located as close as possible to the device. For normal operation,
the enable pin, ENBL, must be pulled high. The turn-on
threshold for ENBL is 2 V. To put the device in its power-down
mode, ENBL must be pulled below 0.5 V. Pins COM1 to COM4
should all be tied to a low impedance ground plane.
have a bias level about 800 mV below supply. An LO drive
level of between −6 dBm and −12 dBm is required. For optimal
performance, a drive level of −10 dBm is recommended,
although a level of −6 dBm results in more stable temperature
performance (see Figure 8). Higher levels degrade linearity
while lower levels tend to increase the noise floor.

The I and Q ports should be driven differentially. This is con-
venient as most modern high speed DACs have differential
outputs. For optimal performance, the drive signal should be a
2 V p-p (differential) signal with a bias level of 1.2 V, that is,
each input swings from 0.7 V to 1.7 V. The I and Q inputs have
input impedances of 12 kΩ. By dc coupling the DAC to the
AD8346 and applying small offset voltages, the LO feedthrough
can be reduced to well below its nominal value of −42 dBm
(see Figure 12).
Figure 26. Single-Ended LO Drive
The LO terminal can be driven single-ended, as shown in
Figure 26 at the expense of slightly higher LO feedthrough.
LOIN is ac coupled to ground using a capacitor and LOIP is
driven through a coupling capacitor from a (single-ended)
50 Ω source (this scheme could also be reversed with LOIP
being ac-coupled to ground).
LO DRIVE
RF OUTPUT
The return loss of the LO port is shown in Figure 18. No add-
itional matching circuitry is required to drive this port from a
50 Ω source. For maximum LO suppression at the output, a
differential LO drive is recommended. In Figure 27, this is
achieved using a balun (M/A-COM Part Number ETC1-1-13).
The output of the balun is ac-coupled to the LO inputs which
The RF output is designed to drive a 50 Ω load, but must be ac-
coupled, as shown in Figure 27. If the I and Q inputs are driven
in quadrature by 2 V p-p signals, the resulting output power is
about −10 dBm (see Figure 7 for variations in output power
over frequency).

AD8346
INTERFACE TO AD9761 TXDAC®
Figure 28 shows a dc-coupled current output DAC interface.
The use of dual-integrated DACs, such as the AD9761 with
specified 0.02 dB and 0.004 dB gain and offset matching
characteristics, ensures minimum error contribution (over
temperature) from this portion of the signal chain. The use of a
precision thin-film resistor network sets the bias levels precisely
to prevent the introduction of offset errors, which increase LO
feedthrough. For instance, selecting resistor networks with a
0.1% ratio matching characteristics maintains 0.03 dB gain and
offset matching performance.
10 mA, giving a voltage swing of 0 V to 1 V (at the DAC
output). This results in a 0.5 V p-p swing at the I and Q inputs
of the AD8346 (resulting in a 1 V p-p differential swing).
Note that the ratio matching characteristics of the resistive
network, as opposed to its absolute accuracy, is critical in
preserving the gain and offset balance between the I and Q
signal path.
By applying small dc offsets to the I and Q signals from the
DAC, the LO suppression can be reduced from its nominal
value of −42 dBm to as low as −60 dBm while holding to
approximately −50 dBm over temperature (see Figure 12 for
a plot of LO feedthrough over temperature for an offset
compensated circuit).
Using resistive division, the dc bias level at the I and Q inputs
to the AD8346 is set to approximately 1.2 V. Each of the four
current outputs of the DAC delivers a full-scale current of

AD8346
AC-COUPLED INTERFACE
An ac-coupled interface can also be implemented, as shown in
Figure 29. This is an advantage because there is almost no
voltage loss due to the biasing network, allowing the AD8346
inputs to be driven by the full 2 V p-p differential signal from
the AD9761 (each of the DAC’s 4 outputs delivering 1 V p-p).
The network shown has a high-pass corner frequency of
approximately 14.3 kHz (note that the 12 kΩ input impedance
of the AD8346 has been factored into this calculation).
Increasing the resistors in the network or increasing the
coupling capacitance reduces the corner frequency further.
As in the dc-coupled case, the bias levels on the I and Q inputs
should be set to as precise a level as possible, relative to each
other. This prevents the introduction of additional input offset
voltages. In Figure 29, the bias level on each input is set to
approximately 1.2 V. The 2.43 kΩ resistors should have a ratio
tolerance of 0.1% or better.
Note that the LO suppression can be manually optimized by
replacing a portion of the four top 2.43 kΩ resistors with
potentiometers. In this case, the bottom four resistors in the
biasing network no longer need to be precision devices.

EVALUATION BOARD
The schematic of the AD8346 evaluation board is shown in
Figure 30. This is a 4-layer FR4 board; the two center layers are
used as ground planes and the top and bottom layers are used
for signal and power. Figure 31 shows the layout and Figure 32
shows the silkscreen. The evaluation board circuit closely
follows the basic connections circuit shown in Figure 27.
All connectors are of the SMA type. The I and Q inputs are
provided with pads for implementing a simple RC filter
network. The local oscillator input is driven through a balun
(M/A-COM Part Number ETC1-1-13).
Slide SW1 to the A position to connect the ENBL pin to +VS
via the 10 kΩ pull-up resistor REP. Slide SW1 to the B position
to disable the device by grounding the ENOP pin through the
49.9 Ω pull-down resistor REG. The device may be enabled via
an external voltage applied to the SMA connector ENOP or TP2.

CHARACTERIZATION SETUPS
SSB SETUP
Two main setups were used to characterize this product. These
setups are shown in Figure 33 and Figure 35. Figure 33 shows
the setup used to evaluate the product as an SSB. The AD8346
motherboard had circuitry that converted the single-ended
I and Q inputs from the arbitrary function generator to differ-
ential inputs with a dc bias of approximately 1.2 V. In addition,
the motherboard also provided connections for power supply
routing. The HP34970A and its associated plug-in 34901 were
used to monitor power supply currents and voltages being
supplied to the AD8346 evaluation board (a full schematic of
the AD8346 evaluation board can be found in Figure 30).
The two HP34907 plug-ins were used to provide additional
miscellaneous dc and control signals to the motherboard. The
LO was driven by an RF signal generator (through the balun on
the evaluation board to present a differential LO signal to the
device) and the output was measured with a spectrum analyzer.
With the I channel driven with a sine wave and the Q channel
driven with a cosine wave, the lower sideband is the single
sideband output. The typical SSB output spectrum is shown in
Figure 34.

CDMA SETUP
For evaluating the AD8346 with CDMA waveforms, the setup
shown in Figure 35 was used. This is essentially the same setup
as that used for the single sideband characterization, except that
the AFG2020 was replaced with the AWG2021 for providing the
I and Q input signals, and the spectrum analyzer used to monitor
the output was changed to an FSEA30 Rohde & Schwarz analyzer
with vector demodulation capability. The I/Q input signals for
these measurements were IS95 baseband signals generated with
Tektronix I/Q SIM software and downloaded to the AWG2021.
For measuring ACPR, the I/Q input signals used were generated
with Pilot (Walsh Code 00), Sync (WC 32), Paging (WC 01),
and 6 Traffic (WC 08, 09, 10, 11, 12, 13) channels active. The
I/Q SIM software was set for 32× oversampling and was using a
BS equifilter. Figure 36 shows the typical output spectrum for
this configuration. The ACPR was measured 885 kHz away
from the carrier frequency.
For performing EVM, Rho, phase, and amplitude balance
measurements, the I/Q input signals used were generated with
only the pilot channel (Walsh Code 00) active. The I/Q SIM
software was set for 32× oversampling using a CDMA equifilter.
