DESCRIPTION
The LT®5546 is a 40MHz to 500MHz monolithic integrated quadrature demodulator with variable gain amplifier (VGA) and 17MHz I/Q baseband bandwidth designed for low voltage operation. It supports standards that use a linear modulation format. The chip consists of a VGA, quadrature downconverting mixers and 17MHz lowpass noise filters (LPF).
