SiGe High-Linearity, 2000MHz to 3000MHz Upconversion/Downconversion Mixer with LO Buffer
General Description
The MAX2042 single, high-linearity upconversion/downconversion mixer provides +36dBm IIP3, 7.3dB noise figure, and 7.2dB conversion loss for 2000MHz to 3000MHz WCS, LTE, WiMAXK, and MMDS wireless infrastructure applications. With a wide LO frequency range of 1800MHz to 2800MHz, this particular mixer is ideal for low-side LO injection receiver and transmitter architectures. High-side LO injection is supported by the MAX2042A, which is pinpin and functionally compatible with the MAX2042. In addition to offering excellent linearity and noise performance, the MAX2042 also yields a high level of component integration.
