Excellent input IP3 performance of +32 dBm for down conversion is provided for 3G & 4G GSM/CDMA applications at an LO drive of 0 dBm. With an input 1 dB compression of +23 dBm, the RF port will accept a wide range of input signal levels. Conversion loss is 7.5 dB typical. The DC to 800 MHz IF frequency response will satisfy GSM/CDMA transmit or receive frequency plans. The HMC689LP4(E) is pin for pin compatible with the HMC688LP4(E) which is a 2.0 - 2.7 MHz mixer with LO amplifier, amplifier is optimized for low side LO applications.
