MM2-0530LCH-2_GaAs MMIC Triple Balanced Mixer

Device Overview

General Description

The MM2-0530L is a passive MMIC triple balanced mixer. It features a broadband IF port that spans from 2 to 20 GHz, and has excellent spurious suppression. GaAs MMIC technology improves upon the previous generation of hand assembled, hybrid M2 triple balanced mixers with improved isolations, unit-to-unit repeatability and reliability. The MM2-0530L is available as a wire bondable chip or connectorized SMA package.

Features

Broadband IF Port
Typical Input 1 dB Compression of +8 dBm
High Input IP3 of +19 dBm
Excellent LO to IF Isolation
Unit-to-Unit Repeatability
RoHS Compliant
