Skyworks Solutions announces the dynamic range of active mixers for mobile radio systems targeted at infrastructure, medical, scientific and industrial applications. These new broad frequency range solutions, which are part of Skyworks’ Linear Products’ portfolio, have achieved unprecedented linearity performance via a higher level of RF integration which secondarily improves both form factor and cost through the elimination of a negative power supply and additional amplifiers. The SKY42068, a 400 to 1000 MHz active mixer focused on CDMA, EDGE, GSM, TETRA, WCDMA, WiMAX and WLL devices, and the SKY42070, a 1700 to 2200 MHz active mixer aimed at DCS, PCS and UMTS communications, are integrated, high-dynamic range, low-noise receiver down converters. They include a double-balanced active mixer, local oscillator (LO) amplifiers and dual LO inputs selected by an external switch interface. The LO switch function is managed using an externally controlled complementary metal oxide semiconductor (CMOS) compatible interface.
