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.

^[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 and Image Rejection measurements is due to splitting the measurement into two bands. IIP3 is only measured up to 67GHz due to limitations in measurement setup.
