The following steps are only needed when DAC is programmed to JMODE 1 to 7. For JMODE0 the NCO configuration can be skipped to Section 2.2.11. For JMODEs 1 to 7 when number of streams M is greater than or equal to 2 and interpolation factor is also set to greater than or equal to 2, the NCO (numerically controlled oscillator) can be used to mix I/Q baseband signal to generate a higher output frequency signal from the output of the DAC.
Mixer Scaling
The DUC (digital up convertor) mixer supports complex-to-complex or complex-to-real-mixing of the complex interpolated input signal with the NCO frequency. The scaling in the mixer is exactly 1:1, so a full-scale 16-bit (absolute amplitude = 32767) complex tone results in a full-scale real or complex tone at the output. If the input absolute value of the complex amplitude exceeds 32767 the mixer saturates, then resulting in a corrupted waveform. The valid circular region in white and invalid corners in gray are shown in Figure 2-4.
The relationship of interpolation factor and number of streams to number of DUCs that can be used is shown in Table 2-2.
Number of Streams | Interpolation Factors | DUCs Enabled |
---|---|---|
2 | 2-256x | DUC0 |
4 | 4-256x | DUC0, DUC1 |
6 | 8-256x | DUC0, DUC1, DUC2 |
8 | 8-256x | DUC0, DUC1, DUC2, DUC3 |
