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 IDTF1150 and IDT1152 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 IDT1162 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 IDTF1100 and IDTF1102 are Zero-Distortion RF to IF downconverting mixers belonging to a series of mixers covering all UTRA frequency bands. The dual-channel devices use a 5V single-supply and are optimized for operation in multi-carrier base station receivers with RF bands from 698 to 915 MHz. The F1100 offers high side injection with support for IF frequencies from 150 to 450 MHz. The F1102 offers high and low side injection with support for IF frequencies from 20 to 300 MHz.

As members of IDT’s Zero-Distortion™ family, these RF to IF mixers reduce distortion for improved SNR while simultaneously reducing power consumption.
