10.0-33.0 GHz Image Reject Mixer QFN, 4x4 mm M1001-QH November 2007 - Rev 20-Nov-07 Features Fundamental Image Reject Mixer 9.0 dB Conversion Loss 20.0 dB Image Rejection +25.0 dBm Input Third Order Intercept (IIP3) 4x4 mm, QFN -- ROHS Compliant General Description Mimix Broadband’s 10.0-33.0 GHz GaAs MMIC fundamental image reject mixer with high linearity has a conversion loss of 9.0 dB with a 20.0 dB image rejection across the band. I and Q mixer outputs are provided and an external 90 degree hybrid is required to select the desired sideband. This MMIC uses Mimix Broadband’s 0.15 µm GaAs PHEMT device model technology, and is based upon electron beam lithography to ensure high repeatability and uniformity. The device comes in a low-cost 4x4 mm QFN surface mount plastic package. This device is well suited for Millimeter-wave Point-to-Point Radio, LMDS, SATCOM and VSAT applications.
