Applications

Transmit Modulator and Up-converter in TDMA/
AMPS Mobile Phones
Transmit Up-converter in CDMA/AMPS Mobile
Phones
mobile phones. It can be used for both TDMA/AMPS
or CDMA/AMPS systems. The MGCT04 is
compatible with baseband and mixed signal interface
circuits from Zarlink Semiconductor and other
manufacturers.
System costs have been kept to a minimum by
removing the requirement for an additional SAW filter
in the transmit IF path. The AGC has been split
between RF and IF sections to reduce noise and a
low pass filter has been included before the IF
variable gain amplifier to remove spurious products
produced in the modulator.
The MGCT04 circuit is designed for use in dual
band, dual mode cellular 900MHz/PCS1900MHz
