The LT
®
5502 is a 70MHz to 400MHz monolithic integrated
quadrature IF demodulator. It consists of an IF limiter,
quadrature down mixers, integrated lowpass filters, and
divide-by-two LO buffers. The demodulator provides all
building blocks for demodulation of I and Q baseband
signals with a single supply voltage of 1.8V to 5.25V. The
IF limiter has 84dB small-signal gain, and a built-in receive
signal strength indicator (RSSI) with over 90dB linear
range. The input referred noise-spectral-density is
1.45nV/√Hz, which is equivalent to a 4dB noise figure
when the input is terminated with a 50Ω source. The
integrated lowpass output filters act as antialiasing and
pulse-shaping filters for demodulated I/Q-baseband sig-
nals. The 3dB cutoff frequency of the filters is about
7.7MHz. The VCO frequency is required to be twice the
desired operating frequency to provide quadrature local
oscillator (LO) signals to the mixers. The standby mode
provides fast transient response to the receive mode with
reduced supply current when the I/Q outputs are
AC-coupled to a baseband chip.
