REP002, Dual-Band IS-136 TDMA RF Front-End Needs no Special Components

REP002, Reference design (RD) is for a dual-band IS-136 TDMA RF front-end. Data show that the MAX2321 dual-band low-noise amplifier (LNA) and mixer IC exceeds IS-136 specifications and needs no additional or special components as a front-end for a TDMA application. The MAX2321 low-noise amplifier (LNA) plus mixer is designed for dual-band CDMA cellular phone handsets, but it can also be used in dual-band TDMA, GSM, EDGE, or WCDMA applications. It offers two LNA gain states to meet the required CDMA dynamic range, with a switchover hysteresis margin
