To determine f
nominal IF frequency is f
quencies, the filter is tuned by the crystal frequency f
fixed relation between f
described by the following formulas:
The relation is designed to achieve the nominal IF frequency of f
applications. For applications where f

Table 1 summarizes the different conditions.
The RF input either from an antenna or from a generator must be transformed to the RF
input pin LNA_IN. The input impedance of that pin is provided in the electrical parame-
ters. The parasitic board inductances and capacitances also influence the input
matching. The RF receiver U3741BM exhibits its highest sensitivity at the best sig-
nal-to-noise ratio in the LNA. Hence, noise matching is the best choice for designing the
transformation network.
A good practice when designing the network is to start with power matching. From that
starting point, the values of the components can be varied to some extent to achieve the
best sensitivity.
If a SAW is implemented into the input network, a mirror frequency suppression of
∆P
∆f = 2 MHz. These SAWs work best for an intermediate frequency of IF = 1 MHz. The
selectivity of the receiver is also improved by using a SAW. In typical automotive appli-
cations, a SAW is used.
Figure 3 on page 6 shows a typical input matching network for f
f
without a SAW. The input matching networks shown in Figure 4 are the reference net-
works for the parameters given in the “Electrical Characteristics”.
