RF IN
Mixer RF Input port. For a 50
Ω match at 900MHz use a 15nH series
inductor. This pin is NOT internally DC-blocked. An external blocking
capacitor must be provided if the pin is connected to a device with DC
present. A DC path to ground (i.e. an inductor or resistor to ground) is,
however, acceptable at this pin. If a blocking capacitor is required, a
value of 22pF is recommended.To minimize the mixer’s noise figure, it
is recommended to have a RF bandpass filter before this input. This will
prevent the noise at the image frequency from being converted to the
IF.

L1 and C1 are picked to match the mixer's output impedance (4 k
Ω II 10 pF) to the IF
filter's impedance, at the IF frequency. C1 also serves as a DC block, in case the IF filter
is not an open circuit at DC.
