MT3L-0113HS_GaAs MMIC High Dynamic Range Mixer

Device Overview

General Description

MT3L-0113H is a GaAs MMIC triple balanced mixer with high dynamic range and low conversion loss. This mixer belongs to the T3 family which offers high IP3, P1dB, and broad operating bandwidths for applications in the S, C and X bands. MT3L-0113H is the monolithic cousin of the MT3-0113HCQG and sister of the MT3H-0113HCH targeted towards lower IF applications in a small footprint. The MT3L-0113H is available as both wire bondable die and a connectorized module.

Features

Low IF band
Broad, overlapping RF/LO & IF bands
High >+30 dBm IP3

Applications

Test and Measurement Equipment
S/C/X band radar

Port Configuration and Functions

Port Diagram

The MT3L-0113H has the input and output ports given in Port Functions. The MT3L-0113H 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.
