IMAGE REJECTION AND SIDEBAND
SUPPRESSIONS OF MODULATED CARRIERS
As shown in Figure 79, image rejection can be achieved by
applying baseband data to the AD9777 and following the
AD9777 with a quadrature modulator. To process multiple
carriers while still maintaining image reject capability, each
carrier must be complex modulated. As Figure 80 shows, single
or multiple complex modulators can be used to synthesize
complex carriers. These complex carriers are then summed and
applied to the real and imaginary inputs of the AD9777.

A system in which multiple baseband signals are complex
modulated and then applied to the AD9777 real and imaginary
inputs, followed by a quadrature modulator, is shown in Figure 82,
which also describes the transfer function of this system and the
spectral output. Note the similarity of the transfer functions
given in Figure 82 and Figure 80. Figure 82 adds an additional
complex modulator stage for summing multiple carriers at the
AD9777 inputs. In addition, as in Figure 79, the image rejection
is not dependent on the real or imaginary baseband data on any
channel. Image rejection on a channel occurs if either the real
or imaginary data, or both, is present on the baseband channel.
It is important to remember that the magnitude of a complex
signal can be 1.414× the magnitude of its real or imaginary
components. Due to this 3 dB increase in signal amplitude, the
real and imaginary inputs to the AD9777 must be kept at least
3 dB below full scale when operating with the complex
modulator. Overranging in the complex modulator results in
severe distortion at the DAC output.
