Hi all,
I am developing a RF transmitter in the frequency range of 1GHz to 2GHz. basic details are as follows:
RF freq band : 1GHz to 2GHz
RF Bandwidth : 550MHz
If freq : 140MHz
IF Bandwidth : 10MHz
LO : low side will be provided by Analog freq synthesizer.
I have searched and gone thru the datasheets of various passive as well as active mixers.
ADL5350 provides an advantage of tuning , external to IC with broad band of freq operation.
Is it a right choice for my project?
In adl5350 datasheet , to improve LO pin VSWR, a shunt resistor is recommended. What should be the value of shunt resistor to achieve good VSWR at LO.
REgards,
Rajan
