MM1-1467LCH-2_GaAs MMIC High Dynamic Range Mixer

Device Overview

General Description

MM1-1467L is a GaAs MMIC double balanced mixer with a broad IF bandwidth and low conversion loss. This mixer ideal for applications which require broad IF bandwidths with operation at mmWave frequencies. The MM1-1467L is available as both wire bondable die and as connectorized modules. The -1 option for die is available for this mixer. Both the -1 and -2 mixers are electrically identically but with mirrored footprints.

Features

High LO to RF isolation
Broad IF bands covering critical Ku & K band
Flat IF response through K band
Low LO drive

Applications

Test and Measurement Equipment
Fixed RF up converters
Electronic warfare equipment
