LT5578 0.4GHz to 2.7GHz High Linearity Upconverting Mixer DESCRIPTION
The LT®5578 mixer is a high performance upconverting mixer optimized for frequencies in the 0.4GHz to 2.7GHz range. The single-ended LO input and RF output ports simplify board layout and reduce system cost. The mixer needs only
- 1dBm of LO power and the balanced design results in low LO signal leakage to the RF output. At 1.95GHz operation, the LT5578 provides conversion gain of
- 0.7dB, high OIP3 of 24.3dBm and a low noise floor of
- 158dBm/Hz at a
- 5dBm RF output signal level. The LT5578 offers a high performance alternative to passive mixers. Unlike passive mixers, which have conversion loss and...
