DESCRIPTION
Demonstration Circuit 1710A-D is a dual 2.3GHz to
4.5GHz high dynamic range downconverting mixer
®
featuring the LTC
5593. The LTC5593 is part of a
family of dual-channel high dynamic range, high
gain downconverting mixers covering the 600MHz
to 4.5GHz frequency range. The Demo Circuit
1710A-D and the LTC5593 are optimized for
2.3GHz to 4.5GHz RF applications. The LO fre-
quency must fall within the 2.1GHz to 4.2GHz
range for optimum performance. A typical appli-
cation is a LTE or WiMAX multichannel or diversity
receiver with a 2.3GHz to 2.7GHz RF input.
The LTC5593 is designed for 3.3V operation, how-
ever the IF amplifiers can be powered by 5V for the
highest P1dB. A low current mode is provided for
power savings, and each of the mixer channels
has independent shutdown control.

QUICK START GUIDE

Dual 2.3GHz to 4.5GHz
HIGH DYNAMIC RANGE
DOWNCONVERTING MIXER
The LTC5593's high conversion gain and high dy-
namic range enable the use of lossy IF filters in
high-selective receiver designs, while minimizing
the total solution cost, board space and system-
level variation.
