peak detector to dynamically follow peak changes of
the data filter output voltage. For faster receiver startup,
the circuit shown in Figure 3 can be used.
The MAX1470 can be configured to receive ASK modu-
lated data with carrier frequency ranging from 250MHz
to 500MHz. Only a small number of components need
to be changed to retune the RF section to the desired
RF frequency.
Table 2 shows a list of changed components and their
values for a 433.92MHz RF; all other components
remain unchanged.
The integrated image rejection of the MAX1470 is
specifically designed to function with a 315MHz input
frequency by attenuating any signal at 293.6MHz. The
benefit of the on-chip image rejection is that an external
SAW filter is not needed, reducing cost and the inser-
tion loss associated with SAW filters. The image rejec-
tion cannot be retuned for different RF input
frequencies and therefore is degraded. The image
rejection at 433.92MHz is typically 39dB.

A properly designed PC board is an essential part
of any RF/microwave circuit. On high-frequency inputs
and outputs, use controlled-impedance lines and
keep them as short as possible to minimize losses and
radiation. At high frequencies, trace lengths that are
approximately 1/20 the wavelength or longer become
antennas. For example, a 2in trace at 315MHz can act
as an antenna.
Keeping the traces short also reduces parasitic induc-
tance. Generally, 1in of a PC board trace adds about
20nH of parasitic inductance. The parasitic inductance
can have a dramatic effect on the effective inductance.
For example, a 0.5in trace connecting a 100nH induc-
tor adds an extra 10nH of inductance or 10%.
To reduce the parasitic inductance, use wider traces
and a solid ground or power plane below the signal
traces. Using a solid ground plane can reduce the par-
asitic inductance from approximately 20nH/in to 7nH/in.
Also, use low-inductance connections to ground on all
GND pins, and place decoupling capacitors close to all
