MM1-0320LCH-2_GaAs MMIC Double Balanced Mixer

Device Overview

General Description

The MM1-0320L is a passive double balanced MMIC mixer. It features excellent conversion loss, superior isolations and spurious performance across a broad bandwidth, in a highly miniaturized form factor. Low LO drive requirement allows operation at as low as +5dBm inputs. The MM1-0320L is available as a wire bondable chip or an SMA connectorized package. The MM1-0320L is a superior alternative to Marki Microwave carrier and packaged M1 and M3 mixers. The MM1-0320L is the low barrier version of the MM1-0320H. If higher LO power is available, the MM1-0320H is recommended for higher mixer linearity.
