______________________________________________________________________________________

Operational Modes

The various operating modes are controlled by the logic
inputs

BAND, GAIN, LIN, and LO/2. Table 1 shows the

pin settings for the various operating modes.

Applications Information

Cascaded LNA/Mixer Performance

The LNA and mixer design optimizes cascaded perfor-
mance in all gain and linearity modes. In HGHL mode
both the LNA and mixer have a low noise figure, high
gain, and high linearity. The LNA has high gain to mini-

mize the noise contribution of the mixer, thus increasing
the receiver’s sensitivity, and the LNA has high linearity
for cross-modulation suppression. The HGLL mode is
used when the transmitter is off and cross-modulation is
not a concern. In LGHL mode, the received signal is
strong enough that linearity is the primary concern. The
LNA gain is reduced for higher system linearity.

S-Parameters

Use the S-parameters listed in the following tables to
design the RF matching circuits.
