Description
M/A-COM's MAIA-007859-000100 is a glass / silicon
monolithic 850-960MHz, I/Q Modulator/Demodulator.
Encapsulated in a low cost, miniature surface mount
PQFN 6mm square, 28-lead plastic package, the die
utilizes M/A-COM’s unique HMIC silicon/glass and
GaAs processes. The product performance
maximizes the advantages provided by both
processes through the realization of low loss passive
elements and efficient diode technology. The net
result provides excellent harmonic suppression and
output noise performance. In addition, the
incorporated monolithic design techniques provide
unparalleled amplitude and phase balance
performance during demodulation thus adding to the
unit’s overall versatility.

1. When the LO frequency is greater than the RF frequency, the
upper sideband is suppressed.
2. The Baseband I and Q input signals were generated using
the following settings in the Agilent E3844C Vector Signal
Generator:
FWD CDMA2000 SR1 Pilot
Filter: IS-95 Mod w/EQ
Link: Forward
IQ Mod Filter: Through
PRE Clip: 100.0 %
3. LO Port Return Loss may be improved by inserting a 6.2 nH
coil (e.g. Coilcraft type 0402CS-6N2XJL) in series with the
LO input terminal.

Handling Procedures
Please observe the following precautions to avoid
damage:
Static Sensitivity
Gallium Arsenide Integrated Circuits are sensitive
to electrostatic discharge (ESD) and can be
damaged by static electricity. Proper ESD control
techniques should be used when handling these
devices.
5. Exceeding any one or combination of these limits may cause
permanent damage to this device.
6. M/A-COM does not recommend sustained operation near
these survivability limits.
