GENERAL DESCRIPTION
The AD8342 is a high performance, broadband active mixer.
It is well suited for demanding receive-channel applications
that require wide bandwidth on all ports and very low
intermodulation distortion and noise figure.
The AD8342 provides a typical conversion gain of 3.7 dB with
an RF frequency of 238 MHz. The integrated LO driver presents
a 50 Ω input impedance with a low LO drive level, helping to
minimize the external component count.
The differential high impedance broadband RF port allows for
easy interfacing to both active devices and passive filters. The
RF input accepts input signals as large as 1.6 V p-p or 8 dBm
(relative to 50 Ω) at P1dB.

The open-collector differential outputs provide excellent balance
and can be used with a differential filter or IF amplifier, such as
the AD8369, AD8370, AD8351, or AD8352. These outputs can
also be converted to a single-ended signal using a matching
network or a balun transformer. The outputs are capable of
swinging 2 V p-p when biased to the VPOS supply rail.
The AD8342 is fabricated on an Analog Devices, Inc.,
proprietary, high performance SiGe IC process. The AD8342 is
available in a 16-lead LFCSP. It operates over a −40°C to +85°C
temperature range. An evaluation board is also available.

... The device also features a power-down function. Application of a logic low at the PWDN pin allows normal operation. A high logic level at the PWDN pin shuts down the AD8342. Power consumption when the part is disabled is less than 10 mW. The bias for the mixer is set with an external resistor (R from the EXRB pin to ground ...

... It is essential to ac couple RF and LO ports to prevent dc offsets from skewing the mixer core in an asymmetrical manner, potentially degrading noise figure and linearity. The RF input of the AD8342 is high impedance, 1 kΩ across the frequency range shown in Figure 41. The input capacitance decreases with frequency due to package parasitics. ...

... PCB traces. One approach is to use an impedance transforming network or transformer located close to the AD8342. If very wideband output is desired, a nearby buffer amplifier may be a better choice, especially if IF response required.
