Description

LTC5562

Wideband Low Power

Active Mixer

The LT C

5562 is a versatile low power mixer optimized

for applications requiring very wide input bandwidth, low

distortion, and low LO leakage. This mixer can be used

for either upconverting or downconverting applications,

and provides a nominal conversion gain of 1dB. Demon-

stration circuit 2483A-A showcases the LTC5562 mixer

for upconverting applications while demonstration circuit

2483A-B is tuned for downconverting applications. The

differential inputs are optimized for use with 1:1 trans-

mission-line baluns, allowing very wideband impedance

matching. The LTC5562 uses a 3.3V supply for low power

consumption and an enable pin allows the part to be shut L, LT, LTC, LTM, Linear Technology and the Linear logo are registered trademarks of Analog

notes on test equipMent setup

•High performance signal generators with low harmonic

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

erwise, lowpass 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.

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

the current limit to 60mA.

3. Connect the ground and VCC turrets to the power sup-

ply.

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 3360MHz CW

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

6. Set the RF signal generators to provide one 239MHz

CW signal and one 241MHz 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 –12dBm

each at the mixer’s RF input port.

7. Set the spectrum analyzer’s center frequency to

3600MHz.

8. Perform various measurements (conversion gain,

OIP3, LO leakage, etc.).
