The LTC5569 dual active downconverting mixer is optimized for diversity and MIMO receiver applications that require low power and small size. Each mixer includes an independent LO buffer amplifier, active mixer core, and bias circuit with enable pin. The symmetry of the IC assures that a phase and amplitude coherent LO is applied to each mixer.The RF inputs are 50Ω matched from 1.4GHz to 3.3GHz, and easily matched for higher or lower RF frequencies with simple external matching. The LO input is 50Ω matched from 1GHz to 3.5GHz, even when one or both mixers are disabled. The LO input is easily matched for higher or lower frequencies, as low as 350MHz, with simple external matching. The low capacitance differential IF outputs are usable up to 1.6GHz.ApplicationsWireless Infrastructure Diversity ReceiversMIMO Infrastructure ReceiversRemote Radio Units

The LTC5576 is a high linearity active mixer optimized for upconverting applications requiring wide input bandwidth, low distortion and low LO leakage. The integrated output transformer is optimized for 4GHz to 6GHz applications, but is easily retuned for output frequencies as low as 3GHz, or as high as 8GHz, with minor performance degradation. The input is optimized for use with 1:1 transmission-line baluns, allowing very wideband impedance matching.The LO input port is single-ended and requires only 0dBm of LO power to achieve excellent distortion and noise performance while also reducing circuit requirements. The LTC5576 offers low LO leakage, reducing the demands of output filtering to meet LO suppression requirements.The LTC5576 is optimized for 5V but can also be used with a 3.3V supply with slightly reduced performance. The enable function allows the part to be easily shut down for further power savings.ApplicationsWideband Transmitters4G and 5G Wireless InfrastructureFixed Wireless Access EquipmentWireless Repeaters

The LTC5584 is a direct conversion quadrature demodulator optimized for high linearity receiver applications in the 30MHz to 1.4GHz frequency range. It is also usable in the 10MHz to 30MHz and 1.4GHz to 2GHz ranges with reduced performance. It is suitable for communications receivers where an RF signal is directly converted into I and Q baseband signals with bandwidth of 530MHz or higher. The LTC5584 incorporates balanced I and Q mixers, LO buffer amplifiers and a precision, high frequency quadrature phase shifter. In addition, the LTC5584 provides four analog control voltage interface pins for IIP2 and DC offset correction, greatly simplifying system calibration.The high linearity of the LTC5584 provides excellent spurfree dynamic range for the receiver. This direct conversion demodulator can eliminate the need for intermediate frequency (IF) signal processing, as well as the corresponding requirements for image filtering and IF filtering. These I/Q outputs can interface directly to channel-select filters (LPFs) or to baseband amplifiers.ApplicationsLTE/W-CDMA/TD-SCDMA Base Station ReceiversWideband DPD ReceiversPoint-To-Point Broadband RadiosHigh Linearity Direct Conversion I/Q ReceiversImage Rejection Receivers

The LTC5587 is a 10MHz to 6GHz, low power monolithic precision RMS power detector with an integrated 12-bit serial analog-to-digital converter (ADC). The RMS detector uses a proprietary technique to accurately measure the RF power of modulated signals with crest-factor as high as 12dB. For an input frequency of 2.14GHz the detection range is from –34dBm to 6dBm. The serial digital output of the detector is a 12-bit word value that is directly proportional to the RF signal power measured in dBm. The LTC5587 is suitable for precision power measurement for a wide variety of RF standards, including LTE, WiMAX, W-CDMA, TD-SCDMA, CDMA, CDMA2000, EDGE, GSM, etc. The DC output of the detector is connected in series with an on-chip 300Ω resistor to the analog output pin (VOUT). This enables further filtering of the output modulation ripple using an off-chip capacitor before analog-to-digital conversion. The ADC features include no data latency, no missing codes, and a sampling rate of up to 500ksps. A dedicated external reference pin (VREF) can be tied to VDD or other suitable low-impedance voltage reference to set the ADC full-scale input voltage range. The ADC also features an automatic power down after each conversion making the LTC5587 ideal for low-power applications.ApplicationsLTE, WiMAX, W-CDMA, TD-SCDMA, CDMA, CDMA2000, EDGE, GSMPico-Cells, Femto-Cells RF Power ControlWireless RepeatersCATV/DVB TransmittersMIMO Wireless Access PointsPortable RMS Power MeasurementAntenna Monitor

The LTC5588-1 is a direct conversion I/Q modulator designed for high performance wireless applications. It allows direct modulation of an RF signal using differential baseband I and Q signals. It supports LTE, GSM, EDGE, TD-SCDMA, CDMA, CDMA2000, W-CDMA, WiMax and other communication standards. It can also be configured as an image reject upconverting mixer, by applying 90° phase-shifted signals to the I and Q inputs. The I/Q baseband inputs drive double-balanced mixers. An onchip balun converts the differential mixer signals to a 50Ω single-ended RF output. Four balanced I and Q baseband input ports are DC-coupled with a common mode voltage level of 0.5V. The LO path consists of an LO buffer with single-ended or differential inputs and precision quadrature generators to drive the mixers. The supply voltage range is 3.15V to 3.45V. An external voltage can be applied to the LINOPT pin to further improve 3rd-order linearity performance. Accurate temperature dependent calibrations can be performed using the on-chip thermistor.ApplicationsLTE, GSM/EDGE, W-CDMA, TD-SCDMA, CDMA2K, WiMax BasestationsImage Reject UpconvertersPoint-to-Point Microwave LinksBroadcast ModulatorMilitary Radio
