The module utilizes two standard Hittite double balanced mixer cells and a 90 degree hybrid fabricated on a GaAs MESFET process. This MMIC based module is a more reliable and consistent alternative to hybrid style I/Q Mixers and Single Sideband Converter assemblies. The module features removable SMA connectors which can be detached to allow direct connection of the modules I/O pins to a microstrip or coplanar circuit. • Space Systems Functional Diagram Electrical Specifications, TA = +25° C, IF= 100 MHz, LO = +15 dBm* Parameter Min.

For applications not requiring operation to DC, this port should be DC blocked externally using a series capacitor whose value has been chosen to pass the necessary IF frequency range. For operation to DC, this pin must not source/ sink more than 3mA of current or part non-function and possible part failure will result. 5 Mixers This pin is AC coupled and matched to 50 Ohms.
