HIGH FREQUENCY LNA/MIXER
• Part of 2.4GHz IEEE802.11b WLANs
• Digital Communication Systems
• Spread-Spectrum Communication Systems
• WLAN or Wireless Local Loop
• Portable Battery-Powered Equipment
• UHF Digital and Analog Receivers
The RF2494 is a monolithic integrated UHF receiver front
end suitable for 2.4GHz ISM band applications. The IC
contains all of the required components to implement the
RF functions of the receiver except for the passive filter-
ing and LO generation. It contains an LNA (low-noise
amplifier), a second RF amplifier and a doubly balanced
mixer. The output of the LNA is made available as an out-
put to permit the insertion of a bandpass filter between
the LNA and the RF/Mixer section. The mixer outputs can
be selectivelydisabledtoallowfor theIFfilter tobeused
in the transmit mode.
• Single 2.7V to 3.6V Power Supply
• 2400MHz to 2500MHz Operation
• Two Gain Settings: 28dB or 12dB
• 4.5dB CascadedNF, HighGainMode
• 20mA DC Current Consumption
• Input IP3: -23dBm or -8dBm
