RF Mixers

IDT's  Zero-Distortion™ RF mixer products offer the world's lowest power consumption and world's lowest IM3 distortion in pin compatible packages. IDT's mixers reduce distortion for improved SNR while simultaneously reducing power consumption.

The IDT F1150 and F1152 are low-power, low-distortion dual 1700 - 2200 MHz RF to IF mixers with ultra linear (+42 dBm) third-order intercept point (IP3O) for superb intermodulation rejection, making them ideal for multi-carrier, multi-mode cellular systems found in 4G wireless base stations. The mixers reduce power consumption by over 40 percent versus standard mixers, significantly reducing heat dissipation and easing heat-sinking requirements on the radio card – a critical factor for today’s densely packed enclosures. In addition, the devices improve IM3 distortion by over 15 dB for better signal-to-noise ratio (SNR), allowing customers to improve performance with a higher front-end gain.   

The F1162 dual channel device is designed to operate with a single 5V supply. It is optimized for operation in a Multi-carrier BaseStation Receiver for LTE and TDD RF bands from 2300 - 2700 MHz with either Side Injection. IF frequencies from 50 to 500 MHz are supported. Nominally, the device offers +43 dBm Output IP3 with 335 mA of ICC.  

The F1102 Zero-Distortion RF to IF Downconverting Mixer is part of a series of downconverting mixers covering all UTRA bands. The F1102 dual channel device operates with a single 5V supply, and is optimized for operation in a Multicarrier BaseStation Receiver for RF bands from 698 to 915 MHz with High or Low Side Injection.
