Device Overview
General Description
The MM1-0320L is a passive double balanced MMIC mixer. It features excellent conversion loss, superior isolations and spurious performance across a broad bandwidth, in a highly miniaturized form factor. Low LO drive requirement allows operation at as low as +5dBm inputs. The MM1-0320L is available as a wire bondable chip or an SMA connectorized package. The MM1-0320L is a superior alternative to Marki Microwave carrier and packaged M1 and M3 mixers. The MM1-0320L is the low barrier version of the MM1-0320H. If higher LO power is available, the MM1-0320H is recommended for higher mixer linearity.
Features
- CAD Optimized for Superior Isolation and Spurious Response
- Broadband Performance
- Low LO Drive Requirement
- Excellent Unit-to-Unit Repeatability
- RoHS Compliant
Applications
- Test and Measurement Equipment
- SATCOM
- Radar
