Zusammenfassung:A microwave integrated circuit (MIC) quadrature phase shift keying (QPSK) modulator uses a novel arrangement of couplers to permit the IF ports to be adjacent one another so that, in mixer applications, it is unnecessary for the circuitry to leave the plane of the MIC. A symmetrical arrangement of the MIC ensures near-perfect phase orthogonality of the RF2 split and the power/phase identity of the RF1 split.
