MM2-0530LBH_GaAs MMIC 5-30 GHz Triple Balanced Mixer

Device Overview

General Description

The MM2-0530LBH is a passive MMIC triple balanced mixer. It features a broadband IF port that spans from 2 to 20 GHz, and has excellent spurious suppression. GaAs MMIC technology improves upon the previous generation of hand assembled, hybrid M2 triple balanced mixers with improved isolations, unit-to-unit repeatability and reliability. The MM2-0530L is available as a wire bondable chip or connectorized bullet housing package.

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 +15 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.
