Product Description
The RF2459 is a monolithic integrated downconverter for
PCS, PHS, and WLAN applications. The IC contains all of
the required components to implement the RF functions
of the downconverter. It contains a double-balanced Gil-
bert cell mixer and a balanced IF output. The mixer’s high
third-order intercept point makes it ideal for digital cellular
applications. The IC is designed to operate from a single
3V power supply.
