Device Overview

General Description

The MM1-0320HSM 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 MM1-0320HSM is available in a lead-free, RoHS compliant QFN surface mount package and is compatible with standard leaded and lead-free PCB reflow soldering processes. The MM1-0320HSM is a superior alternative to Marki Microwave surface mount M1 and M3 mixers.
