DESCRIPTION ABSOLUTE MAXIMUM INPUTS

LTC5552

3GHz to 20GHz Microwave Mixer

with Wideband DC to 6GHz IF

Demonstration circuit 2668A is optimized for evaluation

of the LT C

5552 passive double-balanced mixer. Its RF

port is broadband matched from 3GHz to 20GHz, and the

internal LO amplifier, requiring only a 0dBm drive level,

is broadband matched to 50Ω from 1GHz to 20GHz with

10dB Return Loss. The differential IF output is usable

from DC to 6GHz. The LTC5552 can be used for upcon-

verting and downconverting applications.

NOTES ON TEST EQUIPMENT SETUP

QUICK START PROCEDURE

•High performance signal generators with low harmonic

outputs should be used for 2-tone measurements. Oth-

erwise, low-pass filters at the signal generator outputs

should be used to suppress harmonics.

•High quality combiners should be used to present a

broadband 50Ω termination on all ports as well as

provide good port-to-port isolation. Adding attenua-

tor pads further improves source isolation and helps

prevent the signal generators from producing inter-

modulation 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 depend-

ing on the spectrum analyzer used.

•Before performing measurements on the DUT, the sys-

tem performance should be evaluated to ensure that

a clean input signal is obtained and that the spectrum

analyzer’s internal distortion is minimized.

1. Connect all test equipment as shown in Figure 2.

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

the current limit to 200mA.

3. Connect the ground and V

turrets to the power supply.

BE SURE TO CONNECT THE VCC TURRET BEFORE THE

EN TURRET TO ENSURE THAT THE PART DOES NOT

GET DAMAGED. ALSO, REMOVE POWER FROM EN

TURRET BEFORE REMOVING POWER FROM THE VCC

TURRET.

4. Connect the EN turret to the power supply.

5. Set the LO signal generator to provide a 9560MHz CW

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

6. Set the RF signal generators to provide one 9799MHz

CW signal and one 9801MHz 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

RF input port. The two tones should be set to –5dBm

each at the mixer’s RF input port.

7. Set the spectrum analyzer’s center frequency to

240MHz.

8. Perform various measurements (Conversion Gain,

OIP3, LO leakage, etc.).
