High IP3 Downconverter SMT, 0.8 - 1.0 GHz

The HMC377QS16G(E) is a linear downconverter receiver IC suitiable for cellular infrastructure applications from 0.8 - 1.0 GHz. An integrated mixer coupled with a high dynamic range IF amplifier achieves an input intercept point (IP3) of +15 dBm, and an input P1dB of +3.5 dBm. The converter provides a gain of 13.5 dB and only 11 dB typical single side band noise figure. The IC operates from a positive +5V rail consuming 135 mA of current while requiring only -5 dBm LO drive. The design requires no external baluns. The mixer supports IF frequencies between 50 MHz and 250 MHz.
