Description

The MMIQ-0218HSM is a broadband passive GaAs MMIC IQ mixer that operates across an unrivaled 2-18 GHz RF/LO band with an IF from DC to 3 GHz. Excellent phase and amplitude balance of the on-chip LO quadrature hybrid leads to typical image rejection of 35 dB. This is the higher LO drive/higher linearity version of the popular MMIQ-0218LSM. Surface mount QFNs and evaluation boards are available.

Specifications

The electrical specifications apply at TA=+25°C in a 50Ω system. Typical data shown is for a down conversion application with a +26 dBm 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] Mixer Noise Figure given for single sided I/Q conversion typically measures within 0.5 dB of conversion loss for IF frequencies greater than 5 MHz. Image reject downconversion will show noise figure improvements in the presence of image noise.

[2] 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.
