The ADL5356 utilizes two highly linear doubly balanced passive
mixer cores along with integrated RF and LO balancing
circuitry to enable single-ended operation. The ADL5356
incorporates two RF baluns allowing for optimal main and
diversity mixer performance over a 1200 to 2500 MHz RF input
frequency range using low-side LO injection for RF frequencies
between 1700-2500MHz, and high-side injection for
frequencies between 1200-MHz and 1700MHz. (For a high side
injection version for the 1700-2500MHz band, please contact
the factory). The balanced passive mixer arrangement provides
good LO to RF, typically better than -36dBm, and excellent
intermodulation performance. The balanced mixer cores also
provide extremely high input linearity allowing the device to be
used in demanding cellular applications where in-band
blocking signals may otherwise result in the degradation of
dynamic performance. A High linearity IF buffer amps follow
the passive mixer cores, to yield a typical power conversion gain
of 8.0dB, and can be utilized with a wide range of output
impedances. (For a higher IIP3 version of the dual mixer
without the IF amplifiers, please contact the factory).
