The RF9936 is a monolithic integrated receiver front-end
for PCS applications. The IC contains all of the required
components to implement the RF functions of the
receiver front-end except for the passive filtering and LO
generation. It contains two LNAs (low-noise amplifiers), a
double-balanced Gilbert cell mixer, a balanced IF output,
an LO isolation buffer amplifier, and an LO output buffer
amplifier for providing the buffered LO signal as an out-
put. On-chip digital logic is used to enable the appropriate
LNA. The LNAs share a common output that permits
insertion of a bandpass filter between the LNA output and
the Mixer section. Analog gain adjustment is provided
which allows 10dB variation in gain. The IC is designed to
operate from a single 3.6V power supply.
