Local oscillator section
Transmit mixer
The local oscillator (LO) input directly drives the two
internal all-pass networks to provide quadrature LO to the
receive mixers.
This mixer is used for down-conversion to the transmit IF.
Its inputs are coupled to the transmit RF which is
down-converted to a modulated transmit IF frequency,
phase-locked with the baseband modulation.
The centre frequency of the receive band is adjustable by
the voltage on pin VQUADLO. This should be achieved by
connecting a resistor between VQUADLO and VCC. Over
25 dB of image rejection can be obtained by an optimum
resistor value.
The IF outputs are high-impedance (open-collector type).
Typical application will load the output with a differential
500 Ω load; for example, a 500 Ω resistor load, connected
to VCC for DC path, at each TX output, plus a differential
1 kΩ consisting of the input impedance of the matching
network for the following TX part. The mixer can also be
used for frequency up-conversion.
A synthesizer-ON mode (SX mode) is used to power-up all
LO input buffers, thus minimizing the pulling effect on the
external VCO when entering the receive or transmit mode.
This mode is active when SXON = 1.
Fast switching ON/OFF, of the transmit section is
controlled by the hardware input TXON.
