Device Overview
General Description
The MM1-0222L is a passive double balanced MMIC mixer. It delivers excellent 7.4 dB conversion loss, superior isolations and spurious performance across a broad 2 to 22 GHz RF/LO bandwidth. Low LO drive requirement allows operation at as low as +6 dBm inputs. The MM1-0222L is available both as a wire bondable chip or in a 2.92mm connectorized BH package. The MM1-0222L is a low barrier diode version of the MM1-0222H. If higher LO power is available, the MM1-0222H is recommended for higher mixer linearity.
Features
- RF/LO Bandwidth, 2 to 22 GHz
- IF Bandwidth, DC to 3.5 GHz
- LO Drive Requirement, +6 dBm Minimum
- High Performance BH Package
- CAD Optimized for Superior Isolation and Spurious Response
- Excellent Unit-to-Unit Repeatability
Applications
- SATCOM

Electrical Specifications
The electrical specifications apply at TA=+25°C in a 50Ω system. Typical data shown is for the connectorized BH package mixer used in the forward direction with a sine wave LO of +12 dBm and RF input power of -10 dBm, aside from linearity measurements. Min and Max limits apply only to our connectorized units and are guaranteed at TA=+25°C.
