Device Overview

General Description

The MMPX-00002PSM is a MMIC surface mount quadplexer capable of multiplexing DC-6 GHz / 8-10 GHz / 12-14 GHz / 16-18 GHz signals. Passive GaAs MMIC technology allows production of smaller filter constructions that replace larger form factor circuit board constructions. Tight fabrication tolerances allow for less unit-to-unit variation than traditional filter technologies. The MMPX-00002PSM is available as a 6x6mm QFN. Low unit to unit variation allows for accurate simulations using the provided SnP files taken from measured production units.
