MT3H-0113LCH-2_GaAs MMIC High Dynamic Range Mixer

Device Overview

General Description

The MT3H-0113L is a triple balanced passive diode mixer offering high dynamic range, low conversion loss, and excellent repeatability. As with all T3 mixers, this mixer offers unparalleled nonlinear performance in terms of IIP3, P1dB, and spurious performance with a flexible LO drive requirement from +7 dBm to +15 dBm. RF, LO, and IF ports are all operated single ended due to integrated baluns. The MT3H-0113L is available as a wire bondable chip or an SMA connectorized package. The MT3H-0113L is a superior alternative to Marki Microwave carrier and packaged T3 mixers. If >+16dBm LO power is available, the higher barrier MT3H-0113H is recommended.

Features

Broadband, Overlapping RF, LO and IF
RoHS Compliant
Square-Wave LO delivers Industry-Leading Spurious, IP3, and P1dB Performance
