GENERAL DESCRIPTION

The ADMV1010 is a compact, gallium arsenide (GaAs) design,

monolithic microwave integrated circuit (MMIC), I/Q down-

converter in a RoHS compliant package optimized for point to

point microwave radio designs that operates in the 12.6 GHz to

15.4 GHz frequency range. The ADMV1010 is optimized to work

as a low noise, upper sideband (low-side local oscillator (LO)),

image reject downconverter.

The ADMV1010 provides 15 dB of conversion gain with 25 dB

of image rejection. The ADMV1010 uses a radio frequency

(RF), low noise amplifier (LNA) followed by an in-phase/

quadrature (I/Q) double balanced mixer, where a driver

amplifier drives the LO. IF1 and IF2 mixer outputs are

provided, and an external 90° hybrid is needed to select the

required sideband. The I/Q mixer topology reduces the need for

filtering the unwanted sideband. The ADMV1010 is a much

smaller alternative to hybrid style SSB downconverter

assemblies, and it eliminates the need for wire bonding by

allowing the use of surface-mount manufacturing assemblies.

The ADMV1010 downconverter comes in a compact, thermally

enhanced, 4.9 mm × 4.9 mm, 32-terminal LCC package. The

ADMV1010 operates over the −40°C to +85°C temperature range.
