MAX2837
EVALUATION KIT AVAILABLE
2.3GHz to 2.7GHz Wireless Broadband RF Transceiver
General Description
The MAX2837 direct-conversion zero-IF RF transceiver is designed specifically for 2.3GHz to 2.7GHz wireless broadband systems. The MAX2837 completely integrates all circuitry required to implement the RF transceiver function, providing RF-to-baseband receive path; and baseband-to-RF transmit path, VCO, frequency synthesizer, crystal oscillator, and baseband/control interface. The device includes a fast-settling sigma-delta RF synthesizer with smaller than 20Hz frequency steps and a crystal oscillator, which allows the use of a low-cost crystal in place of a TCXO.
