MIXER OVERVIEW

The ADMV1455 contains an image rejection down converting I/Q

mixer with excellent linearity and noise figure. The necessary LO

signals, 2×LO_I and 2×LO_Q, to drive the mixer come from the

LO signal chain. The output from the RF signal chains, RF_C,

also feeds into the mixer. The mixer supports RF and LO input

frequencies up to 55GHz. The quadrature outputs of the mixer,

IF_I and IF_Q, are then used to drive the IF signal chain and I/Q

baseband signal chain. Figure 176 shows the mixer.

The mixer contains a gate selection bit field in Register 0x17D. For

I/Q baseband mode, set this register to 0, and for IF mode, set this

MIXER SIDEBAND SELECTION

The ADMV1455 mixer sideband can be selected by swapping the

mixer LO inputs, 2×LO_I and 2×LO_Q. To swap these inputs, use

is for cases where the RF frequency > the 2×LO frequency. Set this

bit to 1 for the lower sideband, which is for cases where the RF

frequency < the 2×LO frequency.

I/Q BASEBAND SIGNAL CHAINS

The I/Q baseband signal chains of the ADMV1455 support frequen-

cies from DC to 8GHz and consist of baseband amplifiers. The

baseband amplifiers include VOCM adjustment and DC offset correc-

tions. Figure 177 shows the I/Q baseband signal chains.

To use the I/Q baseband signal chains, set Register 0x184 to 0. Set

If not using the I/Q baseband signal chains, set Register 0x107,

Bits[3:0], to 1 to power down the baseband amplifiers.

The I/Q baseband outputs are internally DC-coupled with a 75Ω

differential output impedance, which allows the outputs to interface

with either 50Ω or 100Ω differential load impedance. When these

outputs are not used, they can be left floating.
