I-Channel and Q-Channel Outputs

Each of the I-channel and Q-channel outputs is internally

or AC-coupled to the external loads. Each single-ended

output has an impedance of 65Ω in parallel with a 5pF

internal capacitor, forming a low-pass filter with a –3dB

corner frequency at 490MHz. The loading resistance

than 300Ω to assure full gain. The gain is reduced by

by 7.23dB when each output pin is connected to a

50Ω load (or 100Ω differentially). The output should be

taken differentially (or by using differential-to-single-

ended conversion) for best RF performance, including

NF and IM2.

The phase relationship between the I-channel output signal

and the Q-channel output signal is fixed. When the LO

input frequency is larger (or smaller) than the RF input

OUT

When AC output coupling is used, the resulting high-

pass filter’s –3dB roll-off frequency is defined by the RC
