MM1-0212L is a low power GaAs MMIC double balanced mixer that operates at LO powers as a low as +1 dBm. MM1-0212L is a low frequency, low power S band mixer that works well as both an up and down converter to through X band. This mixer offers low conversion loss and high LO to RF isolations at extremely low LO drives. The sister MM1-0212H and MM1-0212S are recommended for high linearity applications. The MM1-0212L is available as both wire bondable die and as connectorized modules.

The MM1-0212L has the input and output ports given in Port Functions. The MM1-0212L 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 | Connector Type | Description | DC Equivalent Circuit |
