General Description
The MAX2700/MAX2701 are highly integrated direct downconversion (zero-IF) receivers designed for wideband wireless local loop (WLL) systems operating in the 1.8GHz to 2.5GHz band. The MAX2700/MAX2701s’ zero-IF architecture eliminates the need for IF down conversion stages and the use of an IF SAW filter. This reduces the overall receiver cost by reducing the component count and required board space.
