Low-Cost, 900MHz, Low-Noise Amplifier
and Downconverter Mixer
Detailed Description
The MAX2685 consists of five major components: a
low-noise amplifier (LNA), an LNA bypass switch, a
downconverter mixer, a local-oscillator (LO) buffer, and
a power-management block.
Low-Noise Amplifier (LNA)
The LNA is a wideband, single-ended cascode amplifi-
er that operates over a wide range of frequencies. The
input of the LNA (LNAIN) requires an appropriate
matching network and a DC-blocking capacitor. The
typical operating circuit shown in Figure 1 is optimized
for frequencies around 880MHz, requiring only a 0.1μF
capacitor in series with a 12nH inductor. See Table 1
for the LNA “S” parameters for matching to other fre-
quencies.
The output of the LNA (LNAOUT) is internally biased to
V CC . It is internally matched to 50 ? and incorporates
an internal DC-blocking capacitor.
LNA Bypass Switch
and Gain Control
When a large input signal is present, enable the LNA
bypass function to increase linearity and reduce supply
current. Set GAIN low to enable the LNA bypass func-
tion.
Receive Mixer
The downconverter mixer is a wideband, single-bal-
anced design with a low noise figure and high linearity.
The RF signal at the MIXIN port is mixed with the signal
at the LO port, and is downconverted to an IF frequen-
cy at the differential IF port.
RF Input
The MIXIN input requires a simple external matching
network and a series DC-blocking capacitor. See
Figure 1 for a matching network example, optimized for
880MHz operation. Table 2 lists mixer “S” parameters
for matching to other frequencies.
