The programmable divider is controlled by an Σ-Δ modulator (SDM). The modulus of the SDM can be programmed between 1 and 2047. The broadband, active mixer employs a bias adjustment to allow for enhanced IP3 performance at the expense of increased supply current. The mixer provides an input IP3 exceeding 25 dBm with 12 dB single sideband NF under typical conditions. The IIP3 can be boosted to ~29 dBm with roughly 20 mA of additional supplied current. The mixer provides a typical voltage conversion gain of 6 dB with a 200 Ω differential IF output impedance. The IF output can be externally matched to support upconversion over a limited frequency range.
