ADL5801 is a high IP3 active mixer with a frequency range of 10 MHz to 6 GHz. It features a broadband upconverter/downconverter, power conversion gain of 1.8 dB, broadband RF, LO, and IF ports, SSB noise figure of 9.75 dB, input IP3 of 28.5 dBm, input P1dB of 13.3 dBm, single-supply operation, and adjustable bias for low power operation.
The ADL5801 active mixer provides a doubly‑balanced architecture with integrated LO buffer, delivering up‑ and down‑conversion from 10 MHz to 6 GHz. It features a bias‑adjust pin for adaptive control of input IP3 and noise figure, and an optional input power detector for automatic biasing.
The device operates from a single 5 V supply at 130 mA, offers a typical power conversion gain of 1.8 dB, and includes an exposed paddle for grounding. A 24‑lead LFCSP package (4 mm × 4 mm) and an evaluation board are available for prototyping.
