MMH-35120H is a GaAs MMIC balanced harmonic mixer that features excellent conversion loss, superior isolations, and spurious performance across an incredibly broad bandwidth utilizing the 3rd harmonic of the LO. The MMH-35120H works well as both an up and down converter from the Ka band through mmWave/G band. The MMH-35120H is recommended for mmWave frequency conversion applications where a mmWave LO source may not be available. It is available as both wire bondable die and as a connectorized module.

A top-down view of the MMH-35120H’s CH package outline drawing is shown below. The MMH-35120H has the input and output ports given in Port Functions. The MMH-35120H can be used in either an up or down conversion. For operation, input the LO into port 2, use port 1 for the RF, and port 3 for the IF.
| Port | Function | Description | DC Equivalent Circuit |
|---|---|---|---|
| GND | Ground | CH package ground path is provided through the substrate and ground bond pads. |  |
| Port 1 | RF | Port 1 is DC open for the CH and M packages. |  |
| Port 2 | LO | Port 2 is diode connected for the CH and M package. |  |
| Port 3 | IF | Port 3 is diode connected for the CH and M package. |  |
