GENERAL DESCRIPTION

The ADL5350 is a high linearity, up-and-down converting mixer capable of operating over a broad input frequency range. It is well suited for demanding cellular base-station mixer designs that require high sensitivity and efficient blocker immunity. Based on a GaAs pHEMT single-ended mixer architecture, the ADL5350 provides excellent input linearity and low noise figure without the need for a high power level, local oscillator (LO) drive.
