MM1-0212S is a highly linear GaAs MMIC double balanced mixer. MM1-0212S is a low frequency, high linearity S band mixer that works well as both an up and down converter to through X band. This mixer offers low conversion loss and high LO to RF isolations at the nominal LO drive. The sister MM1-0212H and MM1-0212L are recommended for applications which need LO operation at lower powers. The MM1-0212S is available as both wire bondable die and as connectorized modules.

A top-down view of the MM1-0212S’s CH package outline drawing is shown below. The MM1-0212S has the input and output ports given in Port Functions. The MM1-0212S can be used in either an up or down conversion. For configuration A, input the LO into port 1, use port 3 for the RF, and port 2 for the IF. For configuration B, input the LO into port 3, use port 1 for the RF, and port 2 for the IF.
