MT3L-0113H is a GaAs MMIC triple balanced mixer with high dynamic range and low conversion loss. This mixer belongs to the T3 family which offers high IP3, P1dB, and broad operating bandwidths for applications in the S, C and X bands. MT3L-0113H is the monolithic cousin of the MT3-0113HCQG and sister of the MT3H-0113HCH targeted towards lower IF applications in a small footprint. The MT3L-0113H is available as both wire bondable die and a connectorized module.

A top-down view of the MT3L-0113H’s CH package outline drawing is shown below. The MT3L-0113H has the input and output ports given in Port Functions. The MT3L-0113H can be used in either an up or down conversion. For configuration A, input the LO into port 1, use port 3 for the RF, and port 2 for the IF. For configuration B, input the LO into port 3, use port 1 for the RF, and port 2 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 | LO | Port 1 is DC short for the CH and S packages. |  |

[1][2][3][5][6][7] Measured as a down converter to a fixed 750 MHz IF. Unless otherwise stated, frequency conversion done using a highside LO.
[4][9] P1dB is measured using a +23 dBm square wave LO.
[8] IP3 depends on LO drive condition. Reported table value is measured with a square wave LO formed using 2x ADM1-0026PA in series with +10 dBm input into the first stage. LO Power reported in plots is of the fundamental tone only. Square wave LO power in plots is stepped down using broadband DC-40 GHz attenuators.
[10] Mixer Noise Figure typically measures within 0.5 dB of conversion loss for IF frequencies greater than 5 MHz.
