Description

LTC5569

300MHz to 4GHz 3.3V DUAL

ACTIVE DOWNCONVERTING MIXER

Demonstration circuit DC1719A is optimized for evaluation

of the LTC

5569 dual active downconverting mixer. Its RF

and LO input ports are internally matched to 50Ω from

1.4GHz to 3.3GHz, and from 1GHz to 3.5GHz, respectively.

The IF output uses a bandpass network followed by an

8:1 transformer to provide a 50Ω match at 190MHz. The

LTC5569 dual active mixer is optimized for diversity and for

MIMOreceiverapplicationsthatrequirelowpowerandsmall

size.Eachmixerincludes an independentLObufferamplifier,

an active mixer core, and a bias circuit with an enable pin.

The symmetry of the IC assures that a phase and ampli-

tude coherent LO is applied to each mixer. Broadband

integrated transformers on the RF and LO inputs provide

single-ended 50Ω interfaces. The differential IF outputs

allow convenient interfacing to differential IF filters and

amplifiers.

broadband 50Ω termination on all ports as well as

provide good port-to-port isolation. Attenuator pads

may be used on the inputs to the combiner and the RF

input port of the LTC5569 mixer, as shown in Figure1.

Adding attenuator pads further improves source iso-

lation and helps prevent the signal generators from

producing intermodulation products.

• Spectrum analyzers can produce significant internal

distortion products if they are overdriven. Generally,

spectrum analyzers are designed to operate at their

best with about –30dBm to –40dBm at their input. The

spectrum analyzer’s input attenuation setting should

be used to avoid saturating the instrument. Set the

spectrum analyzer’s input attenuation depending on

the spectrum analyzer used.

• Before performing measurements on the DUT, the

system performance should be evaluated to ensure

that a clean input signal is obtained and that the spec-

trum analyzer’s internal distortion is minimized.

1. Connect all test equipment as shown in Figure 1.

2. Set the power supply output voltage to 3.3V, and set

the current limit to 250mA.

3. Connect the VCC pin to the 3.3V supply. Connect ENA

to the 3.3V supply.

BE SURE TO CONNECT THE VCC PIN

BEFORE

THE

ENA PIN TO ENSURE THAT THE PART DOES NOT GET

DAMAGED. ALSO, REMOVE POWER FROM ENA PIN

BEFORE

REMOVING POWER FROM THE VCC PIN.

4. Set the LO signal generator to provide a 2140MHz CW

signal at about 0dBm to the demo board’s LO port.

5. Set the RF signal generators to provide one 1950MHz

CW signal and one 1951MHz CW signal. The signals

should be applied to the 2-way combiner. The output

of the combiner should be applied to the demo board’s

RFA port. The two tones should be set to about –6dBm

each at the mixer’s RF input port.

6. Set the spectrum analyzer’s center frequency to

190MHz.

7. Perform various measurements (conversion gain,

OIP3, LO leakage, etc.).
