Description
The U2790B is a 1000-MHz quadrature modulator using Atmel´s advanced UHF pro-
cess. It features a frequency range from 100 MHz up to 1000 MHz, low current
consumption, and single-ended RF and LO ports. Adjustment-free application makes
the direct converter suitable for all digital radio systems up to 1000 MHz, e.g., GSM,
ADC, JDC.
