The MAMXSS0013 is ideally suited for use where high level RF signals and very wide dynamic range are required. Typical applications include frequency up/ down conversion, modulation and demodulation in receivers and transmitters for base station and portable systems. The MAMXSS0013 uses FETs as mixing elements to achieve very wide dynamic range in a low cost plastic package. The mixer operates with LO drive levels of +3 dBm to +8 dBm. The LO port may be externally tuned for operation in various frequency bands.
