GENERAL DESCRIPTION

The HMC8200LP5ME is a highly integrated intermediate

frequency (IF) transmitter chip that converts the industry

standard 300 MHz to 400 MHz IF input signals to an 800 MHz to

4000 MHz single-ended radio frequency (RF) signal at its output.

The IF transmitter chip is housed in a compact 5 mm × 5 mm

LFCSP package and supports complex modulations up to

1024 QAM. The HMC8200LP5ME simultaneously reduces the

design complexity of traditional microwave radios while realizing

significant size and cost improvements. With IF input power

ranges from −31 dBm to +4 dBm, the HMC8200LP5ME

provides 35 dB of digital gain control in 1 dB steps and an

analog voltage gain amplifier (VGA) continuously controls the

transmitter output power from −20 dBm to +5 dBm.

The device also features three integrated power detectors. The

first detector (LOG_IF) can be utilized to monitor the IF input

power. The second detector (SLPD_OUT) is a square law power

detector that monitors the power entering the mixer. The third

power detector (LOG_RF) is used to monitor the output power,

which can be used for fine output power adjustment.
