• 3-Cell Battery-Operated Systems
CDMA/FM UPCONVERTER/BPSK MODULATOR
Product Description
The RF9908 is a complete upconverter designed for
CDMA/FM cellular applications. The IC contains a dou-
ble-balanced mixer stage and an output buffer amplifier
stage. This device may also be used to directly BPSK
modulate a carrier. The mixer is a Gilbert cell with emitter
degeneration resistors to provide high IP
3
. The output
stage is a class-B, push-pull configuration to reduce the
overall current and still provide a good 50Ω output match.
The unit operates at 3.6V and does not require any exter-
nal matching components other than coupling capacitors.
This circuit is designed as part of the RFMD CDMA Chip
Set, consisting of a Transmit IF AGC Amp, this Transmit
Upconverter, a Receive LNA/Mixer, and a Receive IF
AGC Amp.
