Port Configuration and Functions

Port Diagram

A top-down view of the MM1-35130H’s CH package outline drawing is shown below. The MM1-35130H has the input and output ports given in Port Functions. The MM1-35130H can be used in either an up or down conversion. For configuration A, input the LO into port 3, use port 1 for the RF, and port 2 for the IF. For configuration B, input the LO into port 1, use port 3 for the RF, and port 2 for the IF.

Recommended Operating Conditions

The Recommended Operating Conditions indicate the limits, inside which the device should be operated, to guarantee the performance given in Electrical Specifications Operating outside these limits may not necessarily cause damage to the device, but the performance may degrade outside the limits of the electrical specifications. For limits, above which damage may occur, see Absolute Maximum Ratings.

Electrical Specifications

The electrical specifications apply at TA=+25°C in a 50Ω system. Typical data shown is for the connectorized M package mixer used in the forward direction with a sine wave LO input. Min and Max limits apply only to our connectorized units and are guaranteed at TA=+25°C. All bare die are 100% DC tested and visually inspected.

^[2] Mixer Noise Figure typically measures within 0.5 dB of conversion loss for IF frequencies greater than 5 MHz.

Typical Performance Plots

Due to difficulty generating strong LO signals at mmWave frequencies LR Isolation is measured with a small signal LO. Isolation will improve with a stronger LO signal. Discontinuity in conversion loss measurement is due to splitting the measurement into multiple bands. IIP3 is only measured up to 67GHz due to limitations in measurement setup. Conversion loss will extend to 135GHz with sufficient LO drive.
