Device Overview

General Description

The MM1-0424S is a high linearity passive double balanced MMIC mixer. The S diode offers superior 1 dB compression, two tone intermodulation performance, and spurious suppression to other GaAs MMIC mixers. It features excellent conversion loss, superior isolations and spurious performance across a broad bandwidth, in a miniature form factor. The MM1-0424S is available as a wire bondable chip or an SMA connectorized package. The MM1-0424S is a superior alternative to Marki Microwave carrier and packaged M1 and M3 mixers
