The LT5528 is a direct I/Q modulator designed for high performance wireless applications, including wireless infrastructure. It allows direct modulation of an RF signal using differential baseband I and Q signals. It supports PHS, GSM, EDGE, TD-SCDMA, CDMA, CDMA2000, W-CDMA and other systems. It may also be confi gured as an image reject up-converting mixer, by applying 90° phase-shifted signals to the I and Q inputs. The I/Q baseband inputs consist of voltage-to-current converters that in turn drive double-balanced mixers. The outputs of these mixers are summed and applied to an on-chip RF transformer, which converts the differential mixer signals to a 50Ω single-ended output. The four balanced I and Q baseband input ports are intended for DC coupling from a source with a common-mode voltage level of about 0.5V. The LO path consists of an LO buffer with single-ended input, and precision quadrature generators that produce the LO drive for the mixers. The supply voltage range is 4.5V to 5.25V.ApplicationsInfrastructure Tx for DCS, PCS and UMTS BandsImage Reject Up-Converters for PCS and UMTS BandsLow-Noise Variable Phase-Shifter for 1.5GHz to 2.4GHz Local Oscillator Signals

The LT5534 is a 50MHz to 3GHz monolithic RF power detector capable of measuring RF signals over a 60dB dynamic range. The RF signal in a decibel scale is precisely converted into DC voltage on a linear scale. The 60dB input dynamic range is achieved using cascaded RF detectors and RF limiters. Their outputs are summed to generate an accurate log-linear DC voltage proportional to the input RF signal in dB. The output is buffered with a low output impedance driver. The LT5534 delivers superior temperature stability (typical output variation within ±1dB over the full temperature range). The output responds in less than 40ns to a large RF input signal.ApplicationsRF RSSI and ACCRF Power ControlCATV Power DetectionOptical Receiver Gain Control

The LT5537 is a wide dynamic range RF/IF detector, operational from below 10MHz to 1000MHz. The lower limit of the operating frequency range can be extended to near DC by the use of an external capacitor. The input dynamic range at 200MHz with ±3dB nonlinearity is 90dB (from –76dBm to 14dBm, single-ended 50Ω input). The detector output voltage slope is nominally 20mV/dB, and the typical temperature coefficient is 0.01dB/°C at 200MHz.ApplicationsLinear-to-Log Signal Level ConversionReceived Signal Strength Indication (RSSI)RF Power ControlRF/IF Power DetectionReceiver RF/IF Gain ControlEnvelope DetectionASK Receiver

The LT5546 is a 40MHz to 500MHz monolithic integrated quadrature demodulator with variable gain amplifier (VGA) and 17MHz I/Q baseband bandwidth designed for low voltage operation. It supports standards that use a linear modulation format. The chip consists of a VGA, quadrature down-converting mixers and 17MHz lowpass noise filters (LPF). The LO port consists of a divide-by-two stage and LO buffers. The IC provides all building blocks for IF down-conversion to I and Q baseband signals with a single supply voltage of 1.8V to 5.25V. The VGA gain has a linear-in-dB relationship to the control input voltage. Hard-clipping amplifiers at the mixer outputs reduce the recovery time from a signal overload condition. The lowpass filters reduce the out-of-band noise and spurious frequency components. The –3dB corner frequency of the noise filters is approximately 17MHz and has a first order roll-off. The standby mode provides reduced supply current and fast transient response into the normal operating mode when the I/Q outputs are AC-coupled to a baseband chip.ApplicationsGPS IF ReceiversSatellite IF ReceiversVHF/UHF ReceiversWireless Local Loop

The LT5557 active mixer is optimized for high linearity, wide dynamic range downconverter applications. The IC includes a high speed differential LO buffer amplifier driving a double-balanced mixer. Broadband, integrated transformers on the RF and LO inputs provide single-ended 50Ω interfaces. The differential IF output allows convenient interfacing to differential IF filters and amplifiers, or is easily matched to drive a single-ended 50Ω load, with or without an external transformer.The RF input is internally matched to 50Ω from 1.6GHz to 2.3GHz, and the LO input is internally matched to 50Ω from 1GHz to 5GHz. The frequency range of both ports is easily extended with simple external matching. The IF output is partially matched and usable for IF frequencies up to 600MHz.The LT5557’s high level of integration minimizes the total solution cost, board space and system-level variation.ApplicationsCellular, CDMA, WCDMA, TD-SCDMA and UMTS InfrastructureWiMAXWireless Infrastructure ReceiverWireless Infrastructure PA Linearization900MHz/2.4GHz/3.5GHz WLAN

The LT5560 is a low power, high performance broadband active mixer. This double-balanced mixer can be driven by a single-ended LO source and requires only –2dBm of LO power. The balanced design results in low LO leakage to the output, while the integrated input amplifier provides excellent LO to IN isolation. The signal ports can be impedance matched to a broad range of frequencies, which allows the LT5560 to be used as an up- or down-conversion mixer in a wide variety of applications.The LT5560 is characterized with a supply current of 10mA; however, the DC current is adjustable, which allows the performance to be optimized for each application with a single resistor. For example, when biased at its maximum supply current (13.4mA), the typical upconverting mixer IIP3 is +10.8dBm for a 900MHz output.ApplicationsPortable WirelessCATV/DBS ReceiversWiMAX RadiosPHS BasestationsRF InstrumentationMicrowave Data LinksVHF/UHF 2-Way Radios
