Control Interface
The QPSK modulator is configured via a serial three wire
interface. When C_EN is high, 23 bits are shifted in at the
CDATA pin on the falling edge of CCLK. Figure 3 shows the
timing diagram for loading the serial configuration data.
Table 1 describes the 23-bit serial configuration data. See
the Synthesizer Section for more details on the frequency
control bits.
Synthesizer
The synthesizer generates the quadrature LO’s for
modulating the baseband data to RF. The carrier frequency
is phase locked to the reference clock (RCLK). The carrier
frequency, F
C
, has a frequency range of 8MHz to 15MHz
with a resolution of 32kHz. Equation 1 gives the relationship
between F
C
and the frequency of RCLK and the frequency
control bits, M and A.
where F
REF
equals the frequency of RCLK. Also, M and A
can be determined by
“A” ranges from 0 to 5 and “M” ranges from 41 to 103. A and
M are programmed via control bits D0-D2 and D3-D9,
respectively. Values outside these ranges are invalid.
I/Q Generator
The I/Q Generator Section demultiplexes and time aligns the
256 KBPS input data into two data streams, I and Q. The
first data bit following the assertion of the TX_EN signal is
the I data of the first I/Q pair. Each I/Q pair determines the
phase angle of the QPSK transmission signal. The relation-
ship between I/Q pairs and phase angles is shown in
Table 2. Since the QPSK encoding requires a pair of I and Q
information to transmit one symbol, an even number of data
bits must be provided for each burst.

D13-D18
Attenuation
Control
Controls output power level. The bina-
ry value of the register corresponds to
an attenuation amount. For example,
000100 corresponds to 4dB attenua-
tion from the maximum 62dBmV level.
D18 is the MSB.
D19-D21
Reserved
Used for test/diagnostic purposes.
Set to 000.
D22

Test mode; D22 = 0 sets the burst
QPSK modulator in normal mode.
D22 = 1 disables the digital filter.
NOTE: D0 is the first bit shifted into the part.
