Abstract :
A novel monolithic integrated active mixer/LNA utilizing advanced pseudomorphic GaAs FETs has been developed. RF frequency coverage is 900 MHz to 2400 MHz. The Mixer/LNA operates on a single 3 Volt supply at 7 mA. The mixer provides 4 dB conversion gain with a -10 dBm LO drive. The LNA provides a 1.6 dB noise figure and 14 dB gain. The die is packaged in the SSOP-16 plastic package to keep costs low. This is the only GaAs PHEMT active mixer/LNA known to provide such performance from such a small DC requirement.<>
