This driver, in conjunction with the external ponents, as defined in Figure 1, produces a linearized transfer function between the input control voltage of the driver and the attenuation / phase output of the vector modulator. The MADRCC0002 has been optimized for linearizing M/A-’s Vector Modulators (see Table 1), but will function well with most types of cathode grounded vector modulators. The driver is packaged in a 6 x 4 mm Chip Scale Package for mercial SMT applications. A typical schematic for a dual linearizer driving a vector modulator is shown in Figure 1. Circuit Description : (Reference Figures 1, 2 and 3) Note that this is a dual driver. Only the top circuit will be described, because the bottom circuit is identical. The input divider, R1 and the sum of R2 and R3, sets the overall transfer function of the circuit. To increase the transfer function, decrease the Control Voltage and the value of R1. Temperature pensation is a function of the temperature coefficient of the thermistor, R3, and the ratio of R2 to R3, and can only be optimized once the transfer function and linearity ponent values have been established. Varying the value of R4 will optimize the linearity of the VVA. One can achieve a more linear transfer function by driving the attenuator over a smaller portion of its dynamic range. Note that when the vector modulators called out in Table 1 are driven with the dual linearizer,...
