The LT
®
5579 mixer is a high performance upconverting
mixer optimized for frequencies in the 1.5GHz to 3.8GHz
range. The single-ended LO input and RF output ports
simplify board layout and reduce system cost. The mixer
needs only –1dBm of LO power and the balanced design
results in low LO signal leakage to the RF output. At 2.6GHz
operation, the LT5579 provides high conversion gain of
1.3dB, high OIP3 of +26dBm and a low noise floor of
–157.5dBm/Hz at a –5dBm RF output signal level.
The LT5579 offers a high performance alternative to pas
-
sive mixers. Unlike passive mixers, which have conversion
loss and require high LO drive levels, the LT5579 delivers
conversion gain at significantly lower LO input levels and
is less sensitive to LO power level variations. The lower
LO drive level requirements, combined with the excellent
LO leakage performance, translate into lower LO signal
contamination of the output signal.

Note 1: Stresses
beyond those listed under Absolute Maximum Ratings
may cause permanent damage to the device. Exposure to any Absolute
Maximum Rating condition for extended periods may affect device
reliability and lifetime.
Note 2: Each
set of frequency conditions requires appropriate matching
(see Figure 1).
Note 3: The
LT5579 is guaranteed functional over the operating
temperature range from –40°C to 85°C.
Note 4: SSB
noise figure measurements performed with a small-signal
noise source and bandpass filter on LO signal generator. No other IF signal
applied.
