SiGe High-Linearity, 2000MHz to 3000MHz
Downconversion Mixer with LO Buffer
_______________________________________________________________________________________ 5
Note 5: 100% production tested for functional performance.
Note 6: All limits reflect losses of external components, including a 0.8dB loss at f
IF
= 300MHz due to the 4:1 impedance trans-
former. Output measurements were taken at IF outputs of the
Typical Application Circuit .
Note 7: Not production tested. Operation outside this range is possible, but with degraded performance of some parameters. See
the
Typical Operating Characteristics .
Note 8: Maximum reliable continuous input power applied to the RF or IF port of this device is +12dBm from a 50Ω source.
Note 9: Measured with external LO source noise filtered so that the noise floor is -174dBm/Hz. This specification reflects the
effects of all SNR degradations in the mixer including the LO noise, as defined in Application Note 2021:
