Product Description

The RF2486 is a monolithic integrated receiver front-end for PCS, PHS, and WLAN applications. The IC contains all of the required components to implement the RF functions of the receiver front-end except for the passive filtering and LO generation. It contains an LNA (low-noise amplifiers), a double-balanced Gilbert cell mixer, a balanced IF output, an LO isolation buffer amplifier, and an LO output buffer amplifier for providing the buffered LO signal as an output. The IC is designed to operate from a single 3.6V power supply.
