GENERAL DESCRIPTION
The ADL5356 uses a highly linear, doubly balanced, passive mixer core along with integrated RF and local oscillator (LO) balancing circuitry to allow single-ended operation. The ADL5356 incorporates the RF baluns, allowing for optimal performance over a 1200 MHz to 2500 MHz RF input frequency range. Performance is optimized for RF frequencies from 1700 MHz to 2500 MHz using a low-side LO and RF frequencies from 1200 MHz to 1700 MHz using a high-side LO. The balanced passive mixer arrangement provides good LO-to-RF leakage, typically better than −35 dBm, and excellent intermodulation performance.
