Termination-Insensitive Mixer, 1 - 7 GHz Features MDC-162 V3 C-2 • Intermodulation Ratio Insensitive to IF Ports Mismatches • Conversion Loss: 6 dB Typical Midband • Impedance: 50 Ohms Nominal • Maximum Input Power: 350 mW max. @ 25°C, Derated 3.5 mW/°C • Low Power: +24 dBm Max. • MIL-STD-883 Screening Available Description The unique design of the termination insensitive mixer (TIM) enables it to apply high reverse voltage to diodes during their “off” phase, in the LO cycle. This allows for higher power level performance with minimum distortion. In addition the TIM has internal loads that provide a good match and also absorb mixer generated LO frequency terms. Combined, these features give the mixer its insensitivity to external mismatches, plus superior VSWR. 1 M/A-COM Inc. and its affiliates reserve the right to make changes to the product(s) or information contained herein without notice.
