2.3GHz to 2.7GHz MIMO Wireless Broadband
RF Transceiver
General Description
The MAX2839 direct conversion, zero-IF, RF transceiver
is designed specifically for 2GHz 802.16e MIMO mobile
WiMAX systems. The device incorporates one transmit-
ter and two receivers, with >40dB isolation between
each receiver. The MAX2839 completely integrates all
circuitry required to implement the RF transceiver func-
tion, providing RF to baseband receive path, and base-
band to RF transmit path, VCO, frequency synthesizer,
crystal oscillator, and baseband/control interface. The
device includes a fast-settling sigma-delta RF synthe-
sizer with smaller than 40Hz frequency steps and a
crystal oscillator that allows the use of a low-cost crystal
in place of a TCXO. The transceiver IC also integrates
circuits for on-chip DC-offset cancellation, I/Q error,
and carrier leakage detection circuits. An internal trans-
mit to receive loopback mode allows for receiver I/Q
imbalance calibration. The local oscillator I/Q quadra-
ture phase error can be digitally corrected in approxi-
mately 0.125° steps. Only an RF bandpass filter (BPF),
crystal, RF switch, PA, and a small number of passive
components are needed to form a complete wireless
broadband RF radio solution.
The MAX2839 completely eliminates the need for an
external SAW filter by implementing on-chip program-
mable monolithic filters for both the receiver and trans-
mitter, for all 2GHz and 802.16e profiles and WIBRO.
The baseband filters along with the Rx and Tx signal
paths are optimized to meet the stringent noise figure
and linearity specifications. The device supports up to
2048 FFT OFDM and implements programmable chan-
nel filters for 3.5MHz to 20MHz RF channel bandwidths.
The transceiver requires only 2µs Tx-Rx switching time.
The IC is available in a small 56-pin TQFN package
measuring 8mm x 8mm x 0.8mm.
