General Description

The MAX19996A single, high-linearity downconversion mixer provides 8.7dB conversion gain, +24.5dBm IIP3, and 9.8dB noise figure for 2000MHz to 3900MHz WCS, LTE, WiMAX™, and MMDS wireless infrastructure applications. With an ultra-wide LO frequency range of 2100MHz to 4000MHz, the MAX19996A can be used in either low-side or high-side LO injection architectures for virtually all 2.5GHz and 3.5GHz applications. For a 2.5GHz variant tuned specifically for low-side injection, refer to the MAX19996 data sheet.
