General Description
The MAX2031 high-linearity passive upconverter or downconverter mixer is designed to provide +36dBm IIP3, 7dB NF, and 7dB conversion loss for an 815MHz to 1000MHz RF frequency range to support GSM/cellular base-station transmitter or receiver applications. With a 960MHz to 1180MHz LO frequency range, this particular mixer is ideal for high-side LO injection architectures. For a pin-to-pin-compatible mixer meant for low-side LO injection, contact the factory.
