Product Description
RFMD’s STQ-3016 is a direct quadrature modulator targeted for use in a wide range
of communications systems. This device features a wide 2500MHz to 4000MHz
operating frequency band, excellent carrier and sideband suppression, and a low
broadband noise floor.
The STQ-3016 uses silicon germanium (SiGe) device technology and delivers a typi-
cal output power of -12dBm with greater than 50dB IM3 suppression. The device is
packaged in an industry standard 16-pin TSSOP with exposed paddle for superb RF
and thermal ground.
