Abstract: The following article provides an insight into the features and functionality of Maxim's new LO buffer/splitter family MAX9987 and MAX9990. The paper covers specified parameters and their importance and impact on system applications such as cellular basestations and concludes with practical applications circuits, which configure the buffer/splitter circuits to adjust output power levels analog and digital as well as compensate for temperature fluctuations.
