DEMO MANUAL DC2310A
Description
LTC5549
2GHz to 14GHz Passive
Bidirectional Mixer
Demonstration circuit 2310A is optimized for evaluation
of the
LTC
®
5549
passive double-balanced mixer with
integrated LO frequency doubler. Its RF port is matched
to 50Ω from 2GHz to 13.6GHz with 9dB return loss, and
the LO port is matched to 50Ω from 1GHz to 12GHz with
10dB return loss. The IF output is matched to 50Ω from
700MHz to 6GHz with 10dB return loss. The LTC5549 can
be used for upconverting and downconverting applications.
The internal LO doubler can be enabled to allow operation
with a lower frequency LO input signal such as that from
the
LTC6945/LTC6946
or
LTC6947/LTC6948
family of
frequency synthesizers.
