See Figure 5 Test Circuit for 50Ω IF matching network component values. 3. SSB (Single Side Band) Noise Figure measurement requires the use of an IF Reject/Highpass Filter between the Noise Source and the RXM_RF port. This filter prevents IF input noise from interfering with the Mixer IF output Noise Figure Measurement. 4. Transmit mixer measured with Impedance Transform Network 250Ω at device to 50Ω at the source. Refer to Figure 5, pin 19. 5. Implied limit, production measurement uses 50Ω termination at pin 19 (RSIF = 50Ω). Typical transmit conversion gain increase of 5.5dB with application circuit Figure 5 (RSIF = 250Ω). 6. See Figure 2 for Typical Application Circuit. 7. Enable/Disable Time Specifications are tested with the external component values shown in the Figure 5 Test Circuit, with an IF frequency of 280MHz. Specifically the AC coupling capacitors on the TXM_IF+ and TXM_IF- pins are biased up to operating voltage from a fixed internal current source at power up. Increasing these AC coupling capacitors above 1000pF will slow Enable Time proportionately.

The nominal impedance of 50Ω, over the operating frequency range, is achieved with an on chip narrowband tuned circuit. This pin requires AC coupling. Transmit Channel Mixer IF+ Input (10MHz to 400MHz). The TXM_IF+ and TXM_IF- pins form a high input impedance differential pair. Either input (or both inputs for special applications) may be used for the IF signal. Typically the TXM_IF- pin is bypassed to ground with a 470pF capacitor and the TXM_IF+ pin is AC coupled to the transmit IF signal. The high impedance input requires external termination. The specified input impedance is modeled as a resistor in parallel with a capacitor derived from S parameters at 280MHz. The input Impedance will increase at lower IF frequencies. This pin requires AC coupling. Increasing the AC coupling capacitor to larger than 1000pF will degrade Transmit Enable Time. 20 TXM_IFTransmit Channel Mixer IF- Input (10MHz to 400MHz). The TXM_IF+ and TXM_IF- pins form a high input impedance differential pair. Either input (or both for special applications) may be used for the IF signal.

This pin requires AC coupling. Increasing the AC coupling capacitor to larger than 1000pF will degrade Transmit Enable Time. 21 LO_IN Local Oscillator Input (2000MHz to 2490MHz). The LO_IN and LO_BY pins form a differential pair with a mutual broadband 50Ω impedance. Refer to the LO_BY pin for details. The recommended LO power is 3dBm, however usable performance is obtained for the range -6dBm to +3dBm. The LO_IN pin requires AC coupling. Local Oscillator Input Bypass (2000MHz to 2490MHz). The LO_IN and LO_BY pins form a differential pair with a mutual broadband 50Ω input impedance. The LO_BY pin can be used as a signal input, but may have slightly degraded performance due to a clamp circuit to GND. Typically the LO_BY pin is bypassed to GND with a 5pF capacitor.
