MMIQ-1040S is a high linearity, passive GaAs MMIC IQ mixer. This is an ultra-broadband mixer spanning 10 to 40 GHz on the RF and LO ports with an IF from DC to 12 GHz. Up to 30 dBc of image rejection is available due to the excellent phase and amplitude balance of its on-chip LO quadrature hybrid. Both wire bondable die and connectorized modules are available.

[1][2][3][4][5][6] Measured as an I/Q down converter. (i.e., I and Q powers are not combined)
[7] Image Rejection and Single sideband performance plots are defined by the upper sideband (USB) or lower sideband (LSB) with respect to the LO signal. Plots are defined by which sideband is selected by the external IF quadrature hybrid.
[8] Typical IIP3 is measured with I and Q ports combined with an external IF quadrature hybrid coupler.
[9][10] Mixer Noise Figure typically measures within 0.5 dB of conversion loss for IF frequencies greater than 5 MHz.

Typical spurious data is provided by selecting RF and LO frequencies (± m*LO ± n*RF) within the RF/LO bands, to create a spurious output within the IF band. The mixer is swept across the full spurious band. The data shown in the graphs below are for a -10 dBm RF input. Spurious suppression is scaled for different RF power levels by (n-1), where “n” is the RF spur order. For example, the 2LO x 2RF spur is 70 dBc for a -10 dBm input, so a -20 dBm RF input creates a spur that is (2-1) x (-10 dB) lower, or 80 dBc. Data is shown for the frequency plan in Typical Performance unless otherwise stated.
Measured as an I/Q mixer (not IR/SSB mixer). SSB/IR mixers experience additional spurious suppressions.
