Downconverting Mixers Lower Power Consumption While Improving Performance

Linear Technology’s LTC554x family of mixers meets the demands of wireless basestation receivers in the 700-MHz to 4-GHz frequency range. These devices offer an outstanding input third-order intercept (IIP3) of 26 dBm, low noise figures of 9 to 10 dB, and high conversion gain of 8 dB....
