RFMW, Ltd. announces design and sales support for the ParkerVision PV5870 demodulator / modulator. The PV5870 is a direct conversion quadrature demodulator / modulator designed for communication systems requiring excellent linearity with the lowest possible power consumption. Drawing only 23mA from a 3V supply, the PV5870 consumes 1/5th to 1/10th the power of similar demodulators yet provides superior noise figure performance (a 6dB improvement over the nearest competitor). As a demodulator operating from 400 – 3600MHz, the PV5870 offers excellent amplitude and phase balance and very low DC offset. Intermodulation products IM2 and IM3 can be optimized through adjustment. RF,…
