Meet half-IF spurious requirement for LTE receiver

High-performance base-station (BTS) receivers must meet half-IF spurious requirements, which can be achieved by using the proper RF mixer. To help engineers, this application note illustrates the relationship between a mixer's IP2 and second-order response performance to the half-IF spurious requirement. Examples are given for two mixers that provide superior IP2 performance, making them ideal for wireless design needs.
