HFA3683A
2.4GHz RF/IF Converter and Synthesizer
The HFA3683A is a monolithic SiGe
half-duplex RF/IF transceiver designed
to operate in the 2.4GHz ISM band.
The receive chain features a low noise,
gain selectable amplifier (LNA) followed
by a down-converter mixer. An up-converter mixer and a
high performance preamplifier compose the transmit chain.
The remaining circuitry comprises a high frequency Phase
Locked Loop (PLL) synthesizer with a three wire
programmable interface for local oscillator applications.
A reduced filter count is realized by multiplexing the receive
and transmit IF paths and by sharing a common differential
matching network. Furthermore, both transmit and receive
RF amplifiers can be directly connected to mixers. The
inherent image rejection of both the transmit and receive
functions allow this economic advantage.
The HFA3683A is housed in a 64 lead TQFP package well
suited for PCMCIA board applications.
