MAMX-011021
High Linearity Mixer 5 - 35 GHz
Features
Passive Frequency Mixer Conversion Loss: 8 dB @ 12 GHz High IIP3: 23 dBm @ 12 GHz RF Frequency: 5 - 35 GHz LO Frequency: 3 - 33 GHz IF Frequency: DC - 4.5 GHz Lead-Free 1.5 x 1.2 mm TDFN 6-lead Package Halogen-Free “Green” Mold Compound RoHS* Compliant
Description
The MAMX-011021 is a passive mixer “engine” assembled in a 1.5 x 1.2 mm TDFN 6-lead plastic package. This device is designed for more linear applications such as high bit rate transmitters and receivers which may be used in Point-to-Point, Satcom or LAN applications. The mixer has 8 dB of conversion loss and 23 dBm of input intercept point (IIP3).
This mixer can be used for either lower sideband (LSB) or upper sideband (USB) mixing. Two of these mixers can be combined in a quadrature configuration for image rejection.
Positive bias voltage (< 1 V) can be applied to the LO or the VG (optional) pin to reduce LO drive requirements. The VG pin is internally bypassed. Positive bias voltage (< 1 V) can also be applied to the IF pin to optimize device linearity.
