Product Description
RFMD's RFUV1703 is a 21GHz to 26.5GHz GaAs pHEMT upconverter, incorporating
an integrated doubler, LO buffer amplifier, a balanced single sideband (image rejection) mixer followed by Variable Gain Amplifier, DC decoupling capacitors. The combination of high performance part and low-cost packaging makes the RFUV1703 a
cost effective solution, ideally suited to both current and next generation point-topoint and VSAT applications. RFUV1703 is packaged in a 5mm x 5mm QFN to simplify both system level board design and volume assembly.

2*LO - IF = RF (LSB), LO = 10.5 to 15.25GHz
2*LO + IF = RF (USB), LO = 8.5GHz to 13.25GHz
Notes:
1. External components for IQ biases are required.
2. External hybrid coupler is required.
