Design Consideration Design requires generation of I and Q components May 2003 Design Consideration Design requires generation of I and Q components Achieved through 50% duty cycle and divide by 2 Out Of Band rejection filter (1.8 GHz) On chip design for I and Q Matching requirements are reasonable (e.g. 25 dB image rejection) Switching effects minimized by use of dual SSB mixers and signal shape Switching effects can be seen in the next slide Gadi Shor, Wisair

May 2003 LO Leakage LO leakage need to be considered to avoid problems with FCC mask LO attenuation is better when LO goes through several mixers Each mixer gives 25-30 dB Only one real LO in the example design Sub-band frequencies are not in-band signals Allows traditional techniques as used for non-hopping LO suppression Benefits from heterodyne like design (e.g. 2 mixers in a row) Gadi Shor, Wisair
