Dual-band, CDMA/AMPS LNA
and downconverter mixers

DESCRIPTION
The SA9503 is an integrated CDMA/AMPS low noise amplifier
(LNA) plus a downconverter, for both the 900 MHz Cellular band and
the 1.9 GHz PCS band. The LNA incorporates 5 settings of digitally
selected stepped gain in the Cellular band and in the PCS band.
One of the modes (high linearity mode) in each of the Cellular and
PCS bands, includes a high IP3 setting in order to meet the 1-tone
CDMA desensitization test. The gain, noise figure and IP3 for the
remaining 4 low current modes in the Cellular band, are designed in
order to have sufficient separation between the antenna power
levels at which the LNA gains are changed, based on multi-tone
interference levels. A 3 dB overlap is allowed in the antenna power
levels for the adjacent modes. Table 1 indicates a typical scenario.
The downconverter portion is based on our SA9502 and is designed
to meet all the stringent spurious rejections that are required in the
Cellular and PCS bands. There are three individual mixer blocks,
each optimized for high linearity with low power consumption for
operation in one of the following modes: 1900 MHz PCS CDMA,
800 MHz Cellular CDMA, or 800 MHz analog FM AMPS/TACS
modes.
The circuit has been designed in our advanced QUBiC3 BiCMOS
process with 30 GHz f
