datasheet of the HMC400MS8 mixer. Figure 5 shows the results of the simulation, as seen at the IF output of the mixer. For this simulation, the RF input frequency was 1880 MHz, the LO frequency was 1780 MHz, and an interferer was at 1830 MHz (at the RF port of the mixer). The 2x2 spur, created by the LO and the interferer, lands directly in the center of the received channel at 100 MHz. While not visible in the spectrum of the channel spectrum itself, the spur does degrade EVM and BER.Figure 4 =SPECTRASYS= mixer parametersFigure 5 Spur inside digital channel-70MIXER IF SPECTRUMFREQUENCY (MHz)2X2 SPUR DUE TO INTERFERER17 - 117For price, delivery, and to place orders, please contact Hittite Microwave Corporation:20 Alpha Road Chelmsford, MA 01824 Phone: 978-250-3343 Fax: 978-250-3373Order Online at www.hittite.com 17v00.1203HIGH IP3 MIXERS FORCELLULAR APPLICATIONSSelecting the Right MixerWhen selecting a high IP3 mixer, consideration must be given to other important parameters including 17 - 114For price, delivery, and to place orders,
