RFMW, Ltd. announces design and sales support for a low power, highly integrated, IQ modulator with integrated fractional-N synthesizer and voltage controlled oscillator (VCO). The Qorvo RFMD2080 can generate output frequencies of between 45MHz and 2700MHz, making it suitable for a wide range of applications such as satellite communications, QPSK/QAM modulators, SSB modulators and Software Defined Radios (SDR). The RFMD2080’s fractional-N synthesizer offers very low spurious levels with typical step size of 1.5Hz. Typical noise floor is -150dBm/Hz. Programable via serial interface, P1dB is 4dBm and the device runs from a 3-3.3V supply consuming 155mA. Qorvo offers this I/Q modulator in a compact 5x5mm QFN package.
