The RF2948B is a monolithic integrated circuit specifi-
cally designed for direct-sequence spread-spectrum sys-
tems operating in the 2.4GHz ISM band. The part
includes: a direct conversion from IF receiver with vari-
able gain control; quadrature demodulator; I/Q baseband
amplifiers; and, on-chip programmable baseband filters.
For the transmit side, a QPSK modulator and upconverter
are provided. The design reuses the IF SAW filter for
transmit and receive reducing the number of SAW filters
required. Two-cell or regulated three-cell (3.6V maxi-
mum) battery applications are supported by the part. The
part is also designed to be part of a 2.4GHz chipset con-
sisting of the RF2494 LNA/Mixer, one of the many RFMD
high-efficiency GaAs HBT PA’s and the RF3000 Base-
band Processor.
