Device Overview

General Description

The MM1-0832H is a GaAs MMIC double balanced mixer that is designed for and operates at X through K bands. MM1-0832H is a high linearity K band mixer that works well as both an up and down converter. This mixer offers low conversion loss and high LO to RF isolations over a broadband X to K band. The sister component MM1-0832L is recommended for low power applications. The MM1-0832H is available as both a wire bondable die and as a connectorized module.

Port Configuration and Functions

Port Diagram

The MM1-0832H has the input and output ports given in Port Functions. The MM1-0832H 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.
