DESCRIPTION
This document describes the specifications for the
F1180 Dual Path RF Receiver consisting of an RF
Amplifier w/bypass function, Digital Step Attenuator
(DSA), and RF Mixer in each signal path. Applications
include Multi-mode, Multi-carrier BaseStation
Receivers & Repeaters. The F1180 supports the
following frequencies: RF from 1400MHz to 2700MHz,
LO from 1350MHz to 2900MHz, and IF from 25MHz to
400MHz. Refer to the Part # Matrix below describing
the complete series.
The F1180 RF front-end offers 16.5dB gain with 3.5dB
NF and +38dBm OIP3 performance at 2100MHz. The
digital step attenuator provides 30dB adjustment range
in 2dB steps via the SPI interface controller. For strong
signal conditions, each RF amplifier can be configured
to be internally bypassed via the SPI interface. The RF
front-end output and mixer input signals are bonded to
separate pins to allow interstage image-reject filtering.
Each of the dual mixer paths provide 8.2dB power
gain, 10.5dB NF and +35dBm OIP3 performance. An
external LO signal is applied to the mixer LO port.
This device is packaged in a 7 x 7 mm, 48-pin Thin
QFN with 50 ohm single-ended RF & LO inputs and
200 ohm differential IF output impedance for ease of
integration into the receiver lineup.
