The HMC8200LP5ME is a highly integrated intermediatefrequency (IF) transmitter chip that converts the industrystandard 300 MHz to 400 MHz IF input signals to an 800 MHz to4000 MHz single-ended radio frequency (RF) signal at its output.

The IF transmitter chip is housed in a compact 5 mm × 5 mmLFCSP package and supports complex modulations up to1024 QAM. The HMC8200LP5ME simultaneously reduces thedesign complexity of traditional microwave radios while realizingsignificant size and cost improvements. With IF input powerranges from −31 dBm to +4 dBm, the HMC8200LP5MEprovides 35 dB of digital gain control in 1 dB steps and ananalog voltage gain amplifier (VGA) continuously controls thetransmitter output power from −20 dBm to +5 dBm.

The device also features three integrated power detectors. Thefirst detector (LOG_IF) can be utilized to monitor the IF inputpower. The second detector (SLPD_OUT) is a square law powerdetector that monitors the power entering the mixer. The thirdpower detector (LOG_RF) is used to monitor the output power,which can be used for fine output power adjustment.
