The device contains all elements necessary, with the exception of local oscillator sustaining network, to fabricate a high performance I(n-phase) & Q(uadrature) phase splitter and downconverter optimised for systems containing RF AGC gain control. The device allows for systems containing higher power analog interferers. For most applications RF tunable filtering is not essential. The SL1925 is optimised for use with a low phase noise synthesiser, a range of which are available from Mitel Semiconductor. This will form a complete front end tuner function for digital satellite receiver systems utilising DSP derotation recovery.
