Specifications

The electrical specifications apply at TA=+25°C in a 50Ω system. Typical data shown is for a down conversion application with a +17dBm sine wave LO input.  

Min and Max limits apply only to our connectorized units and are guaranteed at TA=+25°C. All bare die are 100% DC tested and visually inspected.

[1] Measured as an I/Q down converter. (i.e., I and Q powers are not combined)

[2] Mixer Noise Figure typically measures within 0.5 dB of conversion loss for IF frequencies greater than 5 MHz.

[3] Image Rejection and Single sideband performance plots are defined by the upper sideband (USB) or lower sideband (LSB) with respect to the LO signal. Plots are defined by which sideband is selected by the external IF quadrature hybrid.

[4] Typical IIP3 is measured with I and Q ports combined with an external IF quadrature hybrid coupler.

MMIQ-1040LSM Low LO Drive Passive GaAs MMIC IQ Mixer

MMIQ-1040LSM is a high linearity, passive GaAs MMIC IQ mixer. This is an ultra-broadband mixer spanning 10 to 40 GHz on the RF and LO ports with an IF from DC to 10 GHz. Up to 50 dB of image rejection is available due to the excellent phase and amplitude balance of its on-chip LO quadrature hybrid. Both surface mount QFNs and evaluation boards are available. For a list of recommended LO driver amps for all mixers and IQ mixers, see here.
