Device Overview

General Description

The MM1A-0222HPSM is a versatile, robust, and broadband double balanced mixer with an integrated broadband LO driver amplifier. The MM1A-0222HPSM is ideal for applications with wide bandwidths and operation through the K band. The integrated LO driver amplifier allows for operation with LO powers as low as +3dBm while retaining exceptional conversion loss and linearity.
