In this bias condition, the down-converter will provide the best compromise for conversion gain, overall NF and linearity. If higher linearity (IIP3) is desired, Vdd should be at 3.5 V or 4 V. This higher bias voltage of the LNA will result in slightly higher NF and lower conversion gain. IF2 AMGP 6552 YWWDNN RF LO 1 2 3 4 5 6 7 Table 4. Pin Description Pin No. Function 1 Gnd 2 Gnd 3 Vdd 4 NC 5 NC 6 Gnd 7 Gnd LO LO Biasing Comment 3V 97 mA (measured current) One variable that strongly affects conversion gain and linearity is the LO input power. The typical operating range for LO input power is from 15 dBm to 17 dBm. The lower the LO input power, the higher the conversion gain and the lower overall linearity and vice versa; the higher the LO input power, the lower the conversion and the higher overall linearity. Depending on the applications, the LO input power and the LNA bias voltage can be selected to obtain desired performance.
