Description
LTC5569
300MHz to 4GHz 3.3V DUAL
ACTIVE DOWNCONVERTING MIXER
Demonstration circuit DC1719A is optimized for evaluation
of the LTC
®
5569 dual active downconverting mixer. Its RF
and LO input ports are internally matched to 50Ω from
1.4GHz to 3.3GHz, and from 1GHz to 3.5GHz, respectively.
The IF output uses a bandpass network followed by an
8:1 transformer to provide a 50Ω match at 190MHz. The
LTC5569 dual active mixer is optimized for diversity and for
MIMOreceiverapplicationsthatrequirelowpowerandsmall
size.Eachmixerincludes an independentLObufferamplifier,
an active mixer core, and a bias circuit with an enable pin.
The symmetry of the IC assures that a phase and ampli-
tude coherent LO is applied to each mixer. Broadband
integrated transformers on the RF and LO inputs provide
single-ended 50Ω interfaces. The differential IF outputs
allow convenient interfacing to differential IF filters and
amplifiers.

notes on test equipMent anD setup
quick start proceDure
• Use high performance signal generators with low
harmonic outputs for 2-tone measurements to avoid
distortion. Otherwise, lowpass filters at the signal gen-
erator outputs should be used to suppress harmonics.
• Highqualitycombinersshouldbeusedtopresenta
broadband 50Ω termination on all ports as well as
provide good port-to-port isolation. Attenuator pads
may be used on the inputs to the combiner and the RF
input port of the LTC5569 mixer, as shown in Figure1.
Adding attenuator pads further improves source iso-
lation and helps prevent the signal generators from
producing intermodulation products.
• Spectrum analyzers can produce significant internal
distortion products if they are overdriven. Generally,
spectrum analyzers are designed to operate at their
best with about –30dBm to –40dBm at their input. The
spectrum analyzer’s input attenuation setting should
be used to avoid saturating the instrument. Set the
spectrum analyzer’s input attenuation depending on
the spectrum analyzer used.
• Before performing measurements on the DUT, the
system performance should be evaluated to ensure
that a clean input signal is obtained and that the spec-
trum analyzer’s internal distortion is minimized.

1. Connect all test equipment as shown in Figure 1.
2. Set the power supply output voltage to 3.3V, and set
the current limit to 250mA.
3. Connect the VCC pin to the 3.3V supply. Connect ENA
to the 3.3V supply.
BE SURE TO CONNECT THE VCC PIN
BEFORE
THE
ENA PIN TO ENSURE THAT THE PART DOES NOT GET
DAMAGED. ALSO, REMOVE POWER FROM ENA PIN
BEFORE
REMOVING POWER FROM THE VCC PIN.
4. Set the LO signal generator to provide a 2140MHz CW
signal at about 0dBm to the demo board’s LO port.
5. Set the RF signal generators to provide one 1950MHz
CW signal and one 1951MHz CW signal. The signals
should be applied to the 2-way combiner. The output
of the combiner should be applied to the demo board’s
RFA port. The two tones should be set to about –6dBm
each at the mixer’s RF input port.
6. Set the spectrum analyzer’s center frequency to
190MHz.
7. Perform various measurements (conversion gain,
OIP3, LO leakage, etc.).
