building a quadrature-amplitude modulator or image reject mixer, the differential current outputs of two AD831s may be summed by connecting them together. An integral low noise amplifier provides a single-ended voltage output and can drive such low impedance loads as filters, 50 amplifier inputs, and A/D converters. Its small signal bandwidth exceeds 200 MHz. A single resistor connected between pins OUT and FB sets its gain. The amplifier's low dc offset allows its use in such direct-coupled applications as direct-to-baseband conversion and quadrature-amplitude demodulation. The mixer's SSB noise figure is 10.3 dB at 70 MHz using its output amplifier and optimum source impedance. Unlike passive mixers, the AD831 has no insertion loss and does not require an external diplexer or passive termination. A programmable-bias feature allows the user to reduce power consumption, with a reduction in the 1 dB compression point and third-order intercept. This permits a tradeoff between dynamic range and power consumption. For example, the AD831 may be used as a second mixer in cellular and two-way radio base stations at reduced power while still providing a substantial performance improvement over passive solutions.
PRODUCT HIGHLIGHTS

PRODUCT DESCRIPTION

The AD831 is a low distortion, wide dynamic range, monolithic mixer for use in such applications as RF to IF downconversion in HF and VHF receivers, the second mixer in DMR base stations, direct-to-baseband conversion, quadrature modulation and demodulation, and doppler shift detection in ultrasound imaging applications. The mixer includes an LO driver and a low noise output amplifier and provides both user-programmable power consumption and third order intercept point. The AD831 provides a +24 dBm third order intercept point for ­10 dBm LO power, thus improving system performance and reducing system cost compared to passive mixers, by eliminating the need for a high power LO driver and its attendant shielding and isolation problems. The RF, IF, and LO ports may be dc or ac coupled when the mixer is operating from ±5 V supplies or ac coupled when operating from a single-supply of 9 V minimum. The mixer operates with RF and LO inputs as high as 500 MHz. The mixer's IF output is available as either a differential current output or a single-ended voltage output. The differential output is from a pair of open collectors and may be ac coupled via a transformer or capacitor to provide a 250 MHz output bandwidth. In downconversion applications, a single capacitor connected across these outputs implements a low-pass filter to reduce harmonics directly at the mixer core, simplifying output filtering. When REV.

AD831
THEORY OF OPERATION

The AD831 consists of a mixer core, a limiting amplifier, a low noise output amplifier, and a bias circuit (Figure 1). The mixer's RF input is converted into differential currents by a highly linear, Class A voltage-to-current converter, formed by transistors Q1, Q2 and resistors R1, R2. The resulting currents drive the differential pairs Q3, Q4 and Q5, Q6. The LO input is through a high gain, low noise limiting amplifier that converts the ­10 dBm LO input into a square wave. This square wave drives the differential pairs Q3, Q4 and Q5, Q6 and produces a high level output at IFP and IFN--consisting of the sum and difference frequencies of the RF and LO inputs--and a series of lower level outputs caused by odd harmonics of the LO frequency mixing with the RF input. An on-chip network supplies the bias current to the RF and LO inputs when these are ac-coupled; this network is disabled when the AD831 is dc-coupled.

When the integral output amplifier is used, pins IFN and IFP are connected directly to pins AFN and AFP; the on-chip load resistors convert the output current into a voltage that drives the output amplifier. The ratio of these load resistors to resistors R1, R2 provides nominal unity gain (0 dB) from RF-to-IF. The expression for the gain, in decibels, is Ê 4 ^ Ê 1^ Ê p ^ GdB = 20 log10 Á ~ Á ~ Á ~ Ë p ¯Ë 2¯Ë 2 ¯ where: 4 is the amplitude of the fundamental component of a p squarewave. 1 is the conversion loss. 2 p is the small signal dc gain of the AD831 when the LO input 2 is driven fully positive or negative.

AD831
The mixer has two open-collector outputs (differential currents) at pins IFN and IFP. These currents may be used to provide nominal unity RF to IF gain by connecting a center-tapped transformer (1:1 turns ratio) to pins IFN and IFP as shown in Figure 2.


Low-Pass Filtering









A simple low-pass filter may be added between the mixer and the output amplifier by shunting the internal resistive loads (an equivalent resistance of about 14 with a tolerance of 20%) with external capacitors; these attenuate the sum component in a downconversion application (Figure 4). The corner frequency of this one-pole low-pass filter (f = (2 RCF ) ­1) should be placed about an octave above the difference frequency IF. Thus, for a 70 MHz IF, a ­3 dB frequency of 140 MHz might be chosen, using CF = (2 14 140 MHz) ­1 82 pF, the nearest standard value.


































































Figure 2. Connections for Transformer Coupling to the IF Output Programming the Bias Current




















Because the AD831's RF port is a Class-A circuit, the maximum RF input is proportional to the bias current. This bias current may be reduced by connecting a resistor from the BIAS pin to the positive supply (Figure 3). For normal operation, the BIAS pin is left unconnected. For lowest power consumption, the BIAS pin is connected directly to the positive supply. The range of adjustment is 100 mA for normal operation to 45 mA total current at minimum power consumption.




Figure 4. Low-Pass Filtering Using External Capacitors Using the Output Amplifier





The AD831's output amplifier converts the mixer core's differential current output into a single-ended voltage and provides an output as high as ±1 V peak into a 50 V load (+10 dBm). For unity gain operation (Figure 5), the inputs AN and AP connect to the opencollector outputs of the mixer's core and OUT connects to VFB.

AD831
For gains other than unity, the amplifier's output at OUT is connected via an attenuator network to VFB; this determines the overall gain. Using resistors R1 and R2 (Figure 6), the gain setting expression is GdB Ê R1 + R2 ^ = 20 log10 Á ~ Ë R2 ¯

Figure 6. Output Amplifier Feedback Connections for Increasing Gain Driving Filters

Higher gains can be achieved, using different resistor ratios, but with concomitant reduction in the bandwidth of this amplifier (Figure 8). Note also that the Johnson noise of these gain setting resistors, as well as that of the BPF terminating resistors, is ultimately reflected back to the mixer's input; thus they should be as small as possible, consistent with the permissible loading on the amplifier's output.
12 G =1

1dB COMPRESSION POINT (dBm)

The output amplifier can be used for driving reverse-terminated loads. When driving an IF band-pass filter (BPF), for example, proper attention must be paid to providing the optimal source and load terminations so as to achieve the specified filter response. The AD831's wideband highly linear output amplifier affords an opportunity to increase the RF to IF gain to compensate for a filter's insertion and termination losses. Figure 7 indicates how the output amplifier's low impedance (voltage source) output can drive a doubly terminated band-pass filter. The typical 10 dB of loss (4 dB of insertion loss and 6 dB due to the reverse-termination) be made up by the inclusion of a feedback network that increases the gain of the amplifier by 10 dB (3.162). When constructing a feedback circuit, the signal path between OUT and VFB should be as short as possible.

AD831
APPLICATIONS

Careful component selection, circuit layout, power supply dc coupling, and shielding are needed to minimize the AD831's susceptibility to interference from radio and TV stations, etc. In bench evaluation, we recommend placing all of the components in a shielded box and using feedthrough decoupling networks for the supply voltage. Circuit layout and construction are also critical, since stray capacitances and lead inductances can form resonant circuits and are a potential source of circuit peaking, oscillation, or both.
Dual-Supply Operation

Figure 9 shows the connections for dual-supply operation. Supplies may be as low as ±4.5 V but should be no higher than ±5.5 V, due to power dissipation.

The RF input to the AD831 is shown connected by an impedance matching network for an assumed source impedance of 50 . TPC 15 shows the input impedance of the AD831 plotted vs. frequency. The input circuit can be modeled as a resistance in parallel with a capacitance. The 82 pF capacitors (CF ) connected from IFN and IFP to VP provide a low-pass filter with a cutoff frequency of approximately 140 MHz in down-conversion applications (see the Theory of Operation section for more details). The LO input is connected single-ended because the limiting amplifier provides a symmetric drive to the mixer. To minimize intermodulation distortion, connect pins OUT and VFB by the shortest possible path. The connections shown are for unity-gain operation. At LO frequencies less than 100 MHz, the AD831's LO power may be as low as ­20 dBm for satisfactory operation. Above 100 MHz, the specified LO power of ­10 dBm must be used.

AD831
Single-Supply Operation

Figure 10 is similar to the dual-supply circuit in Figure 9. Supplies may be as low as 9 V but should not be higher than 11 V, due to power dissipation. As in Figure 9, both the RF and LO ports are driven single-ended and terminated.



In single-supply operation, the COM terminal is the "ground" reference for the output amplifier and must be biased to half the supply voltage, which is done by resistors R1 and R2. The OUT pin must be ac-coupled to the load.

Connections Quadrature Demodulation

Two AD831 mixers may have their RF inputs connected in parallel and have their LO inputs driven in phase quadrature (Figure 11) to provide demodulated in-phase (I) and quadrature (Q) outputs.

The mixers' inputs may be connected in parallel and a single termination resistor used if the mixers are located in close proximity on the PC board.
