Linear公司的LTC5569是双路有源下变换混频器,每个混频器包括单独的LO缓冲放大器,有源混频器核,以及带使能引脚的偏压电路.1950MHz时的IIP3高达26.8dBm,变换增益2dB,1950MHz的噪音为11.7dB,通路间的隔离度为44dB,总功耗为3.3V/600W,主要用在无线接收器,MIMO接收器和遥控无线电单元.本文介绍了LTC5569主要特性, 方框图, 多用途接收器电路图以及低通和高通IF输出匹配电路图,测试电路和评估板布局图.

The LTC®5569 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.
