The designer can avoid an ADC driver [1] and go for a single-ended device and to a transformer to the ADC, and it seems a simple technique. The single-ended driver amplifier uses high power and causes an even-order distortion, like CMRR and PSRR. The receiver signal chain involves a differential output and a single-ended RF input. Many SAW filters, as well as the mixers, are naturally differential PCBs, how ever, they have to be converted to single-ended because of certain limitations of applications. In the past, cellular applications had dual-balanced mixers due to high performance. But, it consumed more space on the ...
