MDC-164 Termination-Insensitive Mixer, 0.5 - 9 GHz Features Rev. V3 C-3 • Intermodulation Ratio Insensitive to IF Ports Mismatches • Conversion Loss: 6.5 dB Typical Midband • 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 ADVANCED: Data Sheets contain information regarding a product M/A-COM Technology Solutions • North America Tel: 800.366.2266 • Europe Tel: +353.21.244.6400 is considering for development.
