AC Electrical Characteristics (Demodulator, f LO = 2855MHz)
(MAX2022 Typical Application Circuit when operated as a demodulator. I/Q outputs are recombined using network shown in Figure 5 . Losses
of combining network not included in measurements. RF and LO ports are driven from 50? sources. Typical values are for V CC = 5V, I/Q
DC returns = 160? resistors to GND, P RF = 0dBm, P LO = 0dBm, f RF = 2655MHz, f LO = 2855MHz, f IF = 200MHz, T C = +25°C, unless
otherwise noted.) (Notes 6, 11)

Note 5: Recommended functional range, not production tested. Operation outside this range is possible, but with degraded perfor-
mance of some parameters.
Note 6: All limits include external component losses of components, PCB, and connectors.
Note 7: It is advisable not to operate the I and Q inputs continuously above 2.5V P-P differential.
Note 8: Guaranteed by design and characterization.
Note 9: Single-carrier WCDMA peak-to-average ratio of 10.5dB for 0.1% complementary cumulative distribution function.
Note 10: No baseband drive input. Measured with the baseband inputs terminated in 50Ω to GND. At low-output power levels, the
output noise density is equal to the thermal noise floor.
Note 11: It is advisable not to operate the RF input continuously above +17dBm.
