DIGITAL DATAPATH
The block diagram in Figure 39 shows the functionality of the
digital datapath. The digital processing includes a premodula-
tion block, two half-band (HB) interpolation filters, phase and
offset adjustment blocks, and an inverse sinc filter.
The digital datapath accepts I and Q data streams and processes
them as a quadrature data stream. The signal processing blocks can
be used when the input data stream is represented as complex data.
The digital datapath can also be used to process an input data
stream representing two independent real data streams, but the
functionality is somewhat restricted. The premodulation block
and any of the nonshifted interpolation filter modes can be used
for an input data stream representing two independent real data
streams. See the Coarse Modulation Mixing Sequences section
for more information.
PREMODULATION
The half-band interpolation filters have selectable pass bands
that allow the center frequencies to be moved in increments of
one-half their input data rate. The premodulation block provides
a digital upconversion of the incoming waveform by one-half the
incoming data rate, f
band input data to the center of the interpolation filter pass band.
INTERPOLATION FILTERS
The transmit path contains two interpolation filters. Both inter-
polation filters provide a 2× increase in output data rate. The
half-band (HB) filters can be individually bypassed or cascaded
to provide 1×, 2×, or 4× interpolation ratios. Each half-band
filter stage offers a different combination of bandwidths and
operating modes.
The bandwidth of the two half-band filters with respect to the
data rate at the filter input is as follows:
•
•
The usable bandwidth is defined as the frequency over which
the filters have a pass-band ripple of less than ±0.001 dB and
an image rejection of greater than +85 dB. As described in the
Half-Band Filter 1 (HB1) section, the image rejection usually
sets the usable bandwidth of the filter, not the pass-band
flatness.
The half-band filters operate in several modes, providing
programmable pass-band center frequencies as well as signal
modulation. The HB1 filter has four modes of operation, and
the HB2 filter has eight modes of operation.
Bandwidth of HB1 = 0.8 × f
Bandwidth of HB2 = 0.5 × f

Half-Band Filter 1 (HB1)
HB1 has four modes of operation, as shown in Figure 40. The
shape of the filter response is identical in each of the four modes.
The four modes are distinguished by two factors: the filter center
frequency and whether the input signal is modulated by the
filter.
As shown in Figure 40, the center frequency in each mode is
offset by one-half the input data rate (f
and Mode 1 do not modulate the input signal. Mode 2 and
Mode 3 modulate the input signal by f
Mode 0 and Mode 2, the I and Q paths operate independently
and no mixing of the data between channels occurs. When oper-
ating in Mode 1 and Mode 3, mixing of the data between the
I and Q paths occurs; therefore, the data input into the filter is
assumed to be complex. Table 15 summarizes the HB1 modes.
