Device Overview
General Description
The MM1-1857L 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 +7dBm inputs. The MM1-1857L is available as a wire bondable chip or an SMA connectorized package. The MM1-1857H is a superior alternative to Marki Microwave carrier and packaged M9 mixers.
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
- Fixed RF up converters
- Electronic warfare equipment
