Specifications

The electrical specifications apply at TA=+25°C in a 50Ω system. Typical data shown is for the connectorized EVAL package mixer† used with a +17 dBm sine wave LO. Typical IP3 data shown for a +19 dBm square wave LO. Specifications shown for configuration A (B).

Min and Max limits apply only to our connectorized units and are guaranteed at TA=+25°C.

† All data measured using a proprietary off-chip balun. EVAL package follows the example application circuit shown in section 4.2. Contact [email protected] for details.

* IF range max value is determined by off-chip balun. Contact [email protected] for details.

[1] Measured as a down converter to a fixed 91 MHz IF. Unless otherwise stated, frequency conversion done using a highside LO.

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

[3] IP3 depends on LO drive condition. Reported table value is measured with a square wave LO formed using 2x ADM1-0026PA in series with +10 dBm input into the first stage. LO Power reported in plots is of the fundamental tone only. Square wave LO power in plots is stepped down using broadband DC-40 GHz attenuators.

MT3D-0113LSM Mixer Package Diagram
MT3D-0113LSM GaAs MMIC T3 Mixer with Differential IF

MT3D-0113LSM is a GaAs MMIC triple balanced mixer with high dynamic range and low conversion loss. This mixer belongs to the T3 family which offers high IP3, P1dB, and broad operating bandwidths for applications in the S, C and X bands. The MT3D-0113LSM has on-chip baluns for the LO and RF ports, while offering differential ports on the IF for flexible operation with an external balun or differential interface. The MT3D-0113LSM is available in a 4x4 mm­2 QFN package. For a list of recommended LO driver amps for all mixers and IQ mixers, see here.
