Abstract
The ADL5350 is a high linearity capable of operating over a broad input frequency range. It is well suited for demanding cellular base-station mixer designs
that require high sensitivity and good blocker immunity. Based on a GaAs pHEMT single-ended mixer architecture, theADL5350 provides excellent input linearity and low noise figure without the need for high power level LO-drive.In 850/900MHz receive applications the ADL5350 provides a
typical conversion loss of only 6dB. The integrated LO amplifierallows a low LO drive level, typically only 4dBm for most applications.The input IP3 is typically greater than 25dBm, with an input compression point of 17dBm. The high input linearity ofthe ADL5350 makes the device an excellent mixer for communications.systems that require high blocker immunity, such as GSM 850/900 and 800MHz CDMA2000. At 2GHz, a slightly greater supply current is required to obtain similar performance.
