LMX2216
0.1 GHz to 2.0 GHz Low Noise Amplifier/Mixer
for RF Personal Communications
General Description
The LMX2216 is a monolithic, integrated low noise amplifier
(LNA) and mixer suitable as a first stage amplifier and down-
converter for RF receiver applications. The wideband oper-
ating capabilities of the LMX2216 allow it to function over
frequencies from 0.1 GHz to 2.0 GHz. It is fabricated using
National Semiconductor’s ABiC IV BiCMOS process.
The LMX2216 is available in a narrow-body 16-pin surface
mount plastic package.
Features
Y
Wideband RF operation from 0.1 GHz to 2.0 GHz
Y
No external biasing components necessary
All input and output ports of the LMX2216 are single-ended.
The LNA input and output ports are designed to interface to
a 50X system. The Mixer input ports are matched to 50X.
The output port is matched to 200X. The only external com-
ponents required are DC blocking capacitors. The balanced
architecture of the LMX2216 maintains consistent operating
parameters from unit to unit, since it is implemented in a
monolithic device. This consistency provides manufacturers

Applications
Y
The low noise amplifier produces very flat gain over the en-
tire operating range. The doubly-balanced, Gilbert-cell mixer
provides good LO-RF isolation and cancellation of second-
order distortion products. A power down feature is imple-
mented on the LMX2216 that is especially useful for stand-
by operation common in Time Division Multiple Access
(TDMA) and Time Division Duplex (TDD) systems.

Functional Description (Continued)
Typical Gilbert Cell
THE LNA
The LNA is a common emitter stage with active feedback.
This feedback network allows for wide bandwidth operation
while providing the necessary optimal input impedance for
low noise performance. The power down feature is imple-
mented using a CMOS buffer and a power-down switch. The
power down switch is implemented with CMOS devices.
During power down, the switch is open and only leakage
currents are drawn from the supply.
THE MIXER
The mixer is a Gilbert cell architecture, with the RF input
signal modulating the LO signal and single ended output
taken from the collector of one of the upper four transistors.
The power down circuitry of the mixer is similar to that of the
LNA. The power down switch is used to provide or cut off
bias to the Gilbert cell.
Typical Low Noise Amplifier
TL/W/11814–15
FIGURE 5. Typical Gilbert Cell Circuit Diagram
The Gilbert cell shown above is a circuit which multiplies
two input signals, RF and LO. The input RF voltage differen-
tially modulates the currents on the collectors of the transis-
tors Q1 and Q2, which in turn modulate the LO voltage by
varying the bias currents of the transistors Q3, Q4, Q5, and
Q6. Assuming that the two signals are small, the result is a
product of the two signals, producing at the output a sum
and difference of the frequencies of the two input signals. If
either of these two signals are much larger than the thresh-

FIGURE 4. Typical LNA Structure
A typical low noise amplifier consists of an active amplifying
element and input and output matching networks. The input
matching network is usually optimized for noise perform-
ance, and the output matching network for gain. The active
element is chosen such that it has the lowest optimal noise
old voltage V , the output will contain other mixing products
T
and higher order terms which are undesirable and may need
to be attenuated or filtered out.
Analysis of the Gilbert cell shows that the output, which is
the difference of the collector currents of Q3 and Q6, is
related to the two inputs by the equation:

be filtered out before the signal is down-converted; other-
wise, an image-reject mixer must be used. Figure 7 illus-

Figures of Merit (Continued)
Due to the presence of image frequencies and the method
in which noise figure is defined, noise figures can be mea-
sured and specified in two ways: double side band (DSB) or
single side band (SSB). In DSB measurements, the image
frequency component of the input noise source is not fil-
tered and contributes to the total output noise at the inter-
mediate frequency. In SSB measurements. the image fre-
quency is filtered and the output noise is not caused by this
frequency component. In most mixer applications where
only one side band is wanted, SSB noise figure is 3 dB
higher than DSB noise figure.
ates the image frequency. The mixer is shown to use an LO
signal generated by a PLL synthesizer, but, depending on
the type of application, the LO signal could be generated by
a device as simple as a free-running oscillator. The IF output
is then typically filtered by a channel-select filter following
the mixer, and this signal can then be demodulated or go
through another down conversion, depending upon the in-
termediate frequency and system requirements. This exter-
nal filter rejects adjacent channels and also attenuates any
LO feed through. Figure 9 shows a cascade analysis of a
typical RF front-end subsystem in which the LMX2216 is
used. It includes the bandpass filter and the switch through
which the input RF signal goes in a radio system before
reaching the LNA. Typical values are used for the insertion
loss of the various filters in this example.
In this application, the LMX2216 is used in a radio receiver
front end, where it amplifies the signal from the antenna and
then down converts it to an intermediate frequency. The
image filter placed between the LNA and the mixer attenu-
