19-2489; Rev 1; 9/02
825MHz to 915MHz, SiGe High-Linearity
Active Mixer
General Description
Features
The MAX9982 fully integrated SiGe mixer is optimized to
meet the demanding requirements of GSM850, GSM900,
and CDMA850 base-station receivers. Each high-lineari-
ty device includes a local oscillator (LO) switch, LO dri-
ver, and active mixer. On-chip baluns are also integrated
to allow for single-ended RF and LO inputs. Since the
active mixer provides 2dB of conversion gain, the device
effectively replaces the IF amplifier stage, which typically
follows most passive mixer implementations.

ꢀ 825MHz to 915MHz RF Frequency Range
ꢀ 70MHz to 170MHz IF Frequency Range
ꢀ 725MHz to 1085MHz LO Frequency Range
ꢀ 2dB Conversion Gain
The MAX9982 provides exceptional linearity with an
input IP3 of greater than +26dBm. The integrated LO
driver allows for a wide range of LO drive levels from
-5dBm to +5dBm. In addition, the built-in switch
enables rapid LO selection of less than 250ns, as need-
ed for GSM frequency-hopping applications.
