3 1 Features IQ Receiver for 24 GHz ISM band Suited for UWB-applications between GHz Single supply voltage of 3.3V Fully ESD protected device Low power consumption 10,5mA Receiver with homodyne quadrature mixer Low-noise-amplifier (LNA) with gain control Fast Power Down Feature QFN-16 leadless plastic package 3x3mm² Pb-free (RoHS compliant) package IC is available as bare die as well 1.1 Overview The IC is an integrated IQ receiver circuit for the 24GHz ISM-band in the frequency range 24.0 GHz GHz and for UWB-applications between 23 GHz and 29 GHz. It includes a lownoise-amplifier (LNA) with gain control, quadrature mixers, poly-phase filter and Local Oscillator input buffer. The receiver can be powered down if PWR pin is supplied with 0V. The gain of the receiver can be digitally controlled by Vctrl pin, Vctrl = 2.5 V sets the receiver in high gain modus, Vctrl = 0 V sets the receiver in low gain modus. The IC is fabricated in the IHP SiGe:C BiCMOS technology SG25H3 by using the bipolar part and the CMOS part. 1.2 Applications The main use of the RX receiver IC is in wireless communication systems and in radar systems for the ISM-band from 24.0 GHz to GHz and for UWB-applications between 23GHz and 29GHz
