It supports standards that use a linear modulation format. The chip consists of a VGA, quadrature downconverting mixers and 17MHz lowpass noise filters (LPF). The LO port consists of a divide-by-two stage and LO buffers. The IC provides all building blocks for IF downconversion to I and Q baseband signals with a single supply voltage of 1.8V to 5.25V. The VGA gain has a linearin-dB relationship to the control input voltage. Hard-clipping amplifiers at the mixer outputs reduce the recovery time from a signal overload condition. The lowpass filters reduce...
