PRODUCTION DATA
Figure 7-1 shows an example block diagram for a direct conversion radio. The design requires a single carrier, 20MHz LTE signal. The system has digital-predication (DPD) to correct up to 5th order distortion so the total DAC output bandwidth is 100MHz. Interpolation is used to output the signal at highest sampling rate possible to simplify the analog filter requirements and move high order harmonics out of band (due to wider Nyquist zone). The internal PLL is used to generate the final DAC output clock from a reference clock of 491.52MHz.
