MDPX-00002CH_Passive MMIC Diplexer

Device Overview

General Description

The MDPX-00002CH is a broadband passive MMIC diplexer, a combination low pass and high pass filters, capable of multiplexing low pass DC - 35.0 GHz and high pass 43.3 - 59.9 GHz signals. Passive GaAs MMIC technology allows production of smaller filter constructions that replace larger form factor circuit board constructions. Tight fabrication tolerances allow for less unit-to-unit variation than traditional filter technologies. Low unit to unit variation allows for accurate simulations using the provided S3P file taken from measured production units.

Features

Port Functions

Port	Function	Description
GND	Ground	CH package ground path is provided through the substrate and ground bond pads.
Pad 1	Input/common	Pad 1 is the common port. This pad is DC short to Pad 3 and DC open to Pad 2.
Pad 2	RF High Band	Pad 2 is the high pass filter. This pad is DC open to ground and all other pads.
Pad 3	RF Low Band	Pad 3 is the low pass filter. This pad is DC short Pad 1 and is DC open to Pad 2.
