DescripTion
The
LTC
®
5577
active mixer is optimized for RF downcon-
verting applications that require high input signal handling
capability and wide bandwidth. The wideband IF output uses
external resistors to set the output impedance, allowing
the flexibility to match directly into differential IF loads,
such as filters and amplifiers. The part is characterized
and specified with a 100Ω differential output impedance,
although it can be used with output impedances ranging
from 50Ω to 400Ω, with higher gain and reduced IIP3
and P1dB at the higher impedance levels. The IF output
is usable up to 1.5GHz.
In receiver applications, the high input P1dB and IIP3 allow
the use of higher gain low noise amplifiers, resulting in
higher receiver sensitivity. Integrated transformers on the
RF and LO inputs provide single-ended 50Ω interfaces,
while minimizing the solution size.
