The LTC5552 is a high performance, microwave double balanced passive mixer that can be used for frequency upconversion or downconversion. The device is similar to the LTC5553, but with a broadband, differential DC to 6GHz IF port. The LTC5552 is recommended for applications where the IF frequency range extends below 500MHz. For applications where the IF frequency is always above 500MHz, the LTC5553 is recommended, since it includes an integrated IF balun.The mixer and integrated RF balun are optimized to cover the 3GHz to 20GHz RF frequency range. The integrated LO amplifier is optimized for the 1GHz to 20GHz frequency range, requiring only 0dBm drive.The part delivers high IIP3 and P1dB, low LO leakage and high integration in a small package.Applications5G Broadband Wireless AccessMicrowave TransceiversWireless BackhaulPoint-to-Point MicrowavePhased-Array AntennasC, X and Ku Band RADARTest Equipment n Satellite Modems
