Device Overview
General Description
The MM1-2567LS is a passive GaAs double balanced MMIC mixer suitable for both up and down-conversion applications. As with all Marki Microwave mixers, it features excellent conversion loss, isolation and spurious performance across a broad bandwidth and in a small form factor. The MM1-2567LS is available in a connectorized package. Owing to its passive balun circuitry, the mixer can be used in two different configurations: Configuration A for highest efficiency and Configuration B for the best spurious performance and lowest LO drive.
Features
- Connectorized Package
- Broadband Performance
- Excellent Unit-to-Unit Repeatability
- Extremely Low LO Drive Operation
Applications
- Test and Measurement Equipment
- Fixed RF up converters
- Electronic warfare equipment
