Description

LTC5577

300MHz to 4GHz

High Signal Level Active

Downconverting Mixer

DemonstrationcircuitDC2070Aisoptimizedfor evaluation

of the LT C

5577 high signal level active downconverting

mixer. Its RF input port is matched to 50Ω from 1.3GHz to

4.3GHz with 12dB return loss, and the LO port is matched

to 50Ω from 950MHz to 4.1GHz with 10dB return loss.

The RF and LO inputs are easily matched for higher or

lower frequencies with simple external matching, as low

as350MHz and 300MHz, respectively. The low capacitance

differential IF output is usable up to 1.5GHz. The LTC5577

active mixer is optimized for RF downconverting applica-

tions that require high input signal handling capability and

wide bandwidth.

notes on test equipMent AnD setup

quick stArt proceDure

n High performance signal generators with low harmonic

outputs should be used for 2-tone measurements.

Otherwise, low pass filters at the signal generator out-

puts should be used to suppress harmonics.

n High quality combiners should be used to present a

broadband 50Ω termination on all ports as well as

provide good port-to-port isolation. Attenuator pads

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

input port of the LTC5577 mixer, as shown in Figure 1.

Adding attenuator pads further improves source iso-

lation and helps prevent the signal generators from

producing intermodulation products.

1. Set the power supply output voltage to 3.3V and the

current limit to 250mA. Turn off the power supply

output.

2. Connect all test equipment and the power supply as

shown in Figure 1.

n 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.

n Before performing measurements on the DUT, the

system performance should be evaluated to ensure that

a clean input signal is obtained and that the spectrum

analyzer’s internal distortion is minimized

3. Ramp on the power supply with a minimum ramp time

of 1ms.

4. Set the LO signal generator to provide an 1800MHz

CW signal at about 0dBm at the DC2070A’s LO port.

5. Set the two RF signal generators to provide one

1949MHz CW signal and one 1951MHz CW signal.

The signals should be applied to the 0° combiner. The

power applied to the DC2070A’s RF input port should

be about –3dBm/tone.

6. Perform various measurements (conversion gain, IP3,

LO leakage, etc.).

7. To turn off the DC2070A, either turn off the power sup-

ply’s output, or remove the power leads starting with

the EN lead.
