AMMP-6530 5–30 GHz Image Reject Mixer Data Sheet Description Features Avago Technologies’ AMMP-6530 is an image reject mixer that operates from 5 GHz to 30 GHz. The cold channel FET mixer is designed to be an easy-to-use component for any surface mount PCB application. It can be used drain pumped for low conversion loss applications, or when gate pumped the mixer can provide high linearity for SSB up-conversion. An external 90-degree hybrid is used to achieve image rejection and a -1V voltage reference is needed. Intended applications include microwave radios, 802.16, VSAT, and satellite receivers. Since this one mixer can cover several bands, the AMMP-6530 can reduce part inventory. The integrated mixer eliminates complex tuning and assembly processes typically required by hybrid (discrete-FET or diode) mixers. The package is fully SMT compatible with backside grounding and I/O to simplify assembly. • 5x5 mm Surface Mount Package Package Diagram Functional Block Diagram IF1 1 NC 2 • Broad Band Performance 5– 30 GHz • Low Conversion Loss of 8 dB • High Image Rejection of 15–20 dB • Good 3rd Order Intercept of +18 dBm • Single -1V, no current Supply Bias Applications • Microwave Radio Systems • Satellite VSAT, DBS Up/Down Link • LMDS & Pt-Pt mmW Long Haul • Broadband Wireless Access (including 802.16 and 802.20 WiMax) • WLL and MMDS loops 8 IF2 drain 3 NC IF1 Vg NC 1 7 6 RF/LO 8 4 LO/RF IF2 NC 5 2 3 gate 7 6 5 NC Vg NC Pin Function 1 2 3 4 5 6 7 8 IF1 IF2 LO/RF Vg RF/LO Top view package base: GND 4 Attention: Observe precautions for handling electrostatic sensitive devices.

Input 3rd Order Intercept Point. IF=1 GHz. Please note that the image rejection and isolation performance is dependent on the selection of the low frequency quadrature hybrid. The performance s pecification of the low frequency quadrature hybrid as well as the phase balance and VSWR of the interface to the AMMP6530 will affect the overall mixer performance. 7 20 Figure 20. Conversion Gain vs. LO power. RF=21 GHz (-20 dBm), LO=20 GHz. Biasing and Operation The recommended DC bias condition for optimum performance, and reliability is Vg = -1 volts. There is no current consumption for the gate biasing because the FET mixer was designed for passive operation. For down conversion, the AMMP‑6530 may be configured in a low loss or high linearity application. In a low loss configuration, the LO is applied through the drain (Pin8, power divider side). In this configuration, the AMMP-6530 is a “drain pumped mixer”. For higher linearity applications, the LO is applied through the gate (Pin4, Lange coupler side). In this configuration, the AMMP-6530 is a “gate pumped mixer” (or Resistive mixer). The mixer is also suitable for up-conversion applications under the gate pumped mixer operation shown on page 3. 15 8 drain NC IF1 Vg NC 1 7 6 IF2 NC 5 2 3 gate 4 Figure 21.
