INPUT MATCHING

The ADRF6655 uses a balanced 50 Ω input impedance to help

simplify external connections. For low loss interfacing, the driving

source should be transformed to present a balanced 50 Ω source

impedance. An appropriate 1:1 impedance ratio input balun should

be used when attempting to interface to an unbalanced 50 Ω

source. For input frequencies below ~1.5 GHz, the TC1-1-13M+

from Mini-Circuits or similar baluns should provide good return

loss and maximum power gain. For higher frequencies, baluns,

such as the TC1-1-43A+, are recommended for lowest insertion

loss. The ac coupling capacitors can be optimized with the balun to

provide optimum input match. A few examples are provided in

Figure 61 for a range of different IF output frequencies.

It is also possible to use lumped element LC lattice networks to

transform an unbalanced source into a balanced source at the

mixer input pins. In either case, the mixer input pins should be

dc blocked using adequately sized series capacitors.
