DESCRIPTION
The LT®5511 mixer is designed to meet the high linearity requirements of cable TV infrastructure downstream transmitters and wireless infrastructure transmit systems. The IC includes a differential LO buffer amplifier driving a double-balanced mixer. The LO, RF and IF ports can be easily matched to a broad range of frequencies for different applications. The high performance capability of the LO buffer allows the use of a single-ended source, thus eliminating the need for an LO balun.
