Device Overview
General Description
The MM1-0832L is a passive double balanced MMIC mixer. It delivers excellent 7 dB conversion loss, superior isolations and spurious performance across a broad 8 to 32 GHz RF/LO bandwidth. The low LO drive requirement allows operation at as low as +6 dBm inputs. The MM1-0832L is available both as a wire bondable chip or in a 2.92mm connectorized BH package. If higher LO power is available, the MM1-0832H is recommended for higher mixer linearity.
Features
- RF/LO Bandwidth, 8 to 32 GHz
- IF Bandwidth, DC to 10 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
- Test and Measurement Equipment
- Aerospace and Defense
- Electronic Warfare

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.
