The MAX2029 is a highest performance, fully integrated, 815 to 1000MHz SiGe passive mixer. Designed specifically for 2.5G/3G wireless-infrastructure applications, it delivers a good combination of linearity, noise performance, and component integration. When configured as an upconverter, this single IC provides 39dBm of IIP3, 71dBc of LO ±2IF suppression, and a conversion loss of only 6dB. As a downconverter, the MAX2029 delivers equally impressive performance with 36.5dBm of IIP3, 27dBm of IP1dB, 6.5dB of conversion loss, and a 6.7dB noise figure.
