The LT
庐
5517 is a 40MHz to 900MHz quadrature demodu-
lator optimized for high linearity receiver applications
where high dynamic range is important. It is suitable for
communications receivers where an RF or IF signal is
directly converted into I and Q baseband signals with a
bandwidth up to 130MHz. The LT5517 incorporates bal-
anced I and Q mixers, LO buffer amplifiers and a precision,
broadband quadrature generator derived from an on-chip
divide-by-two circuit.
The superior linearity and low noise performance of the
LT5517 is achieved across its full frequency range. A well-
balanced divide-by-two circuit generates precision quadra-
ture LO carriers to drive the I mixer and the Q mixer.
Consequently, the outputs of the I-channel and the
Q-channel are well matched in amplitude, and their phases
are 90掳 apart. The LT5517 also provides excellent 50鈩?/div>
impedance matching at the 2XLO port across its entire
frequency range.
