DESCRIPTION
The LT®5503 is a front-end transmitter IC designed for low voltage operation, and is compatible with the LTC family of WLAN products. The IC contains a high frequency quadrature modulator with a variable gain amplifier (VGA) and a balanced mixer. The modulator includes a precision 90° phase shifter which allows direct modulation of an RF signal by the baseband I and Q signals.
