Product Description
The RFMD0014 is direct quadrature modulator for use in cellular base
stations and other communications systems. RFMD0014 supports cellu-
lar, 3G, WiMax, and LTE air interface standards. This device features oper-
ation from 700 MHz to 1000 MHz with excellent carrier and sideband
suppression and ultra low noise floor. The device is manufactured in an
advanced GaAs HBT process. The RFMD0014 operates from a single 5 V
supply and is packaged in a low cost, 4 mm x 4 mm, 24-pin leadless pack-
age.
