Product Description
The RF2498 is a high performance CDMA tri-band/quad-
mode integrated LNA/mixer with GPS capability. The
device is designed to meet all IS-98 sensitivity, intermod-
ulation and single-tone requirements. The RF2498 inte-
grates the tri-band LNA/downconverters with 27.5dB of
gain control for the cellular band and 29dB for the PCS
band. The RF2498 is designed for three state gain control
solutions for IS-98 IMD testing. The device offers a dedi-
cated GPS LNA/mixer with 37dB of gain. Additionally, a
divide-by-2 prescaler to allow the use of either a single- or
dual-band VCO is integrated. There is also a TX LO
buffer. The design is flexible, in that the bias currents may
be set using off-chip current reference resistors for the
mixer and LNA blocks. The device is packaged in a plas-
tic, 5mmx5mm, leadless chip carrier.
