Device Overview

General Description

The MM1-0832HSM is a GaAs MMIC double balanced mixer that is optimized for high frequency applications. MM1-0832HSM is a high frequency X band mixer that works well as both an up and down converter through Ka band. This mixer offers low conversion loss and high LO to RF isolations at moderate LO powers. The sister MM1-0832LSM is recommended for low power applications. The MM1-0832HSM is available in a 3x3 mm QFN package. Evaluation boards are available.

Port Configuration and Functions

Port Diagram

A bottom-up view of the MM1-0832HSM’s SM package outline drawing is shown below. The MM1-0832HSM has the input and output ports given in Port Functions. The MM1-0832HSM can be used in either an up or down conversion. For configuration A, input the LO into pin 2, use pin 8 for the RF, and pin 5 for the IF. For configuration B, input the LO into pin 8, use pin 2 for the RF, and pin 5 for the IF.
