Note 1: During power down status a load circuitry with dc-isolation to GND is assumed otherwise a current of
I (V
S
–0.8 V) /RI has to be added to the above power down current for each output I, IX, Q, QX.
Note 2: The required LO-Level is a function of the LO-frequency (see figure 3).
Note 3: Measured with input matching. For 950 MHz the optional transmission line T3 at the RF input may be used
for this purpose. Noise figure measurements without using the differential output signal result in a worse noise
figure.
Note 4: Using Pins 7 and 8 as a symmetric RF input, the second order IIP can be improved.

Note 5: Due to test board parasitics this bandwidth is reduced and not equal for I, IX, Q, QX.
If symmetry and full bandwidth is required the lowpass Pins 3, 4 and 9, 10 should be isolated from the board.
The bandwidth of the I/Q outputs can be increased further by using a resistor between the Pins 3, 4, 9 and 10.
This resistors shunt the internal loads of RI 5.4 k
W
The decrease in gain here has to be considered.
Note 6: Output emitter follower internal acurrent I = 0.6 mA allows only small voltage swing with a 50
W
load.
For low signal distortion the load impedance should be RI

Note 8: The low gain status is achieved with an open or high ohmic Pin 11. A recommended application circuit for
switching between high and low gain status is shown in figure 1.
