Product Summary

The MAX2023 is designed for upconverting (downcon-verting) to (from) a 1500MHz to 2300MHz RF from (to)baseband. Applications include multicarrier 1500MHz to2300MHz GSM/EDGE, cdma2000, and WCDMA. Directupconversion (downconversion) architectures areadvantageous since they significantly reduce transmitter(receiver) cost, part count, and power consumption com-pared to traditional heterodyne conversion systems.The MAX2023 integrates internal baluns, an LO buffer, aphase splitter, two LO driver amplifiers, two matcheddouble-balanced passive mixers, and a wideband quad-rature combiner. The MAX2023’s high-linearity mixers, inconjunction with the part’s precise in-phase and quadra-ture channel matching, enable the device to possessexcellent dynamic range, ACLR, 1dB compression point,and LO and sideband suppression characteristics. Thesefeatures make the MAX2023 ideal for multicarrier genera-tion, like cdma2000 or WCDMA.The MAX2023 EV kit circuit allows for thorough analysisand a simple design-in
