AK1228
10~2000MHz Low Noise Mixer
1. General Description
AK1228 is a high linearity and low noise mixer. Signal input frequency range coverage is from 10 to
2000MHz and output coverage is from 10 to 1000MHz. AK1228 can be driven by a single ended signal input
and a low-power differential LO input that can be driven with a differential or single ended LO. The signal
output ports are differential open drain outputs. The analog circuit characteristics and power consumption
performances can be optimized by the resistance connected to the BIAS Pin.

•Impedance matching network with LC
Figure 7. Impedance matching network with LC
Impedance matching network with LC is shown in Figure 7. AK1228 has open drain outputs, so RL1 + RL2
is output load resistance. C11and L11 compose lowpass filter. C12 and L12 are for highpass filter. C13 is
DC blocking capacitor and L13 is RF choke. OUTP and OUTN pins need power feeding via L11, L12 and
L13.
The differential voltage from OUTP/N can be converted to a single-ended by L11, L12, C11 and C12
properly.
The differential impedance (RL1 + RL2) is converted to single-ended output terminating impedance Ro.
L11, C11, L12 and C12 are calculated as below. fout is signal output frequency.

L11  L12 

2π * f OUT * RL1  RL2 * RO
RL1  RL2 * RO
2π * f OUT
For example, in the case of Signal Output = 50MHz, Output Load Resistor (Rload) = 2.2k in 50
interface, L11, C11, L12 and C12 are calculated as below.
C11  C12 

L11  L12 
2.2 *10^3* 50
 1056nH
2π * 50 *10^6
L13 and C13 should be large enough not to affect the impedance at signal output frequency. In some cases the
impedance matching can be optimized by L13 and C13.

For example, in the case of Signal Output = 50MHz, Output Load Resistor (Rload) = 2.2k in 50
interface, it is recommended to choose 2200nH and 1000pF as L13 and C13. If any correction is needed, it
can be adjusted by reducing the value of L13 and C13.
These calculated values are approximation. In some cases, some correction is needed due to the effect of
parasitic capacitance of external parts or/and PCBs. The impedance matching network components should
be decided through enough evaluation on AK1228.
Typical Performance using impedance matching network with LC is below. Signal Input = 600MHz, Signal
Output = 50MHz, LO Input = 550MHz, Output Load Resistor (Rload) = 2.2k, Vdd = 3V, Ta = 25C, LO
Input Level = 0dBm,

The phase and amplitude balance is achieved at IF Output frequency by using impedance matching network with
LC. The port-to-port leakage is improved with the phase and amplitude balance is achieved at RF, LO, and IF

•Output Load Resistor and Gain
Signal output ports are differential open drain outputs. Gain can be optimized by the resistance connected to
the OUTP and OUTN Pins (Rload). Signal Input = 60010MHz, Signal Output = 5010MHz, LO Input =
550MHz, Vdd = 3V, Ta = 25C, LO Input Level = 0dBm, Current Adjustment Resistor (Rbias) = 39k.
Test circuit is shown in Figure 3.

•The Improvement of Analog circuit characteristics with a differential LO input
AK1228 is a high linearity and low noise mixer that can be driven by a single ended LO. However it is
possible to further improve the analog characteristics with a differential LO input. Gain, NF, HalfIF is
improved by reducing the second-order distortion in exchange for the chip components increases four
points. Test circuit is shown in Figure 8.
Figure 8. Example of Impedance matching network with a differential LO input
C21and L22 compose lowpass filter. C22 and L21 are for highpass filter. C2, C3 is DC blocking capacitor.
The impedance of LOINP/N is high impedance so R1 is differential input resistance.
The single-ended LO input voltage can be converted to differential voltage of LOINP/N by L21, C21, L22
and C22 properly. The output resistance Ro of the previous stage is converted to a differential input
resistance R1.
L21, C21, L22 and C22 are calculated as below. fLO is LO input frequency.
C21  C22 
1
2π * f LO * R1 * RIN
L21  L22 
R1 * RIN
2π * f LO
For example, in the case of LO signal input = 1250MHz, differential input resistance R1 = 51 in 50
interface, L21, C21, L22 and C22 are calculated as below.
C21  C22 

 2.5pF
2π * 1250 *10^6* 51* 50
L21  L22 
51* 50
 6.4nH
2π * 1250 *10^6
C2, C3 should be large enough not to affect the differential input impedance R1 at LO input frequency.
