8.2.2.1 Input Signal Path

Appropriate band limiting filters must be used to reject unwanted frequencies in the receive signal path.

A 1:2 (for 100Ω effective termination impedance) or a 1:1 (for 50Ω effective termination impedance) balun transformer is needed to convert the single ended RF input to differential for input to the ADC. The balun outputs must be AC coupled with 100pF capacitors. A back-to-back balun configuration often times gives better SFDR performance. Table 8-1 lists a number of recommended baluns for different impedance ratios and frequency ranges.

The S-parameters of the ADC input can be used to design the front end matching network.
