Key Featrues

High OIP3 of +22.4dBm at 900MHz: This feature ensures excellent linearity, reducing distortion in high-performance wireless applications such as GSM, EDGE, and CDMA. It enhances signal clarity and reliability, making it ideal for infrastructure and communication systems.
Low Output Noise Floor at 20MHz Offset: With a noise floor as low as -158dBm/Hz (no RF) and -152.7dBm/Hz at 4dBm output, this minimizes interference and improves signal-to-noise ratio, crucial for maintaining high-quality communication in crowded frequency bands.
High Image Rejection of -49dBc at 900MHz: This feature significantly reduces unwanted image signals, ensuring cleaner RF output and improving the efficiency of upconverting mixers and direct modulation applications.
Integrated LO Buffer and Quadrature Phase Generator: Simplifies system design by eliminating the need for external components, reducing board space and cost while ensuring precise LO signal generation for accurate modulation.
50Ω AC-Coupled Single-Ended LO and RF Ports: Provides easy integration with standard RF systems, ensuring compatibility and reducing design complexity, particularly in surface-mount applications.
