Note 5:

Guaranteed by design and characterization.

Note 6:

Image rejection typically falls to 30dBc at the frequency extremes.

Note 7:

Refer to the Typical Operating Characteristics for plots showing receiver gain versus LNAGAIN voltage, input IP3 versus
LNAGAIN voltage, and noise figure versus LNAGAIN voltage.

Note 8:

RXIN

= -45dBm each, f1 = 915.0MHz and f2 = 915.2MHz.

Note 9:

Time delay from RXON = 0.45V to RXON = 2.4V transition to the time the output envelope reaches 90% of its final value.

Note 10: Refers to useable operating range. Tuning range of any given tank circuit design is typically much narrower (refer to Figure 1).
Note 11: Using tank components L3 = 5.0nH (Coilcraft A02T), C2 = C3 = C26 = 3.3pF, R6 = R7 = 10

Ω.

Note 12: This approximates a typical application in which a transmitter is followed by an external PA and a T/R switch with finite

isolation.

Note 13: Relative to the rising edge of PREOUT.
