The MM1-0212LSM is a low power GaAs MMIC double balanced mixer that operates at LO powers as a low as +1 dBm. MM1-0212LSM is a low frequency, low power S band mixer that works well as both an up and down converter through X band. This mixer offers low conversion loss and high LO to RF isolation at extremely low LO drives. The sister MM1-0212HSM and MM1-0212SSM are recommended for high linearity applications. The MM1-0212LSM is available in a 4x4 mm QFN package. Evaluation boards are available.
▪ Low +1 dBm minimum LO drive
▪ High LO to RF isolation
▪ RoHS Compliant
