[AK1223] AK1223 8500MHz High Linearity Mixer 1. Overview The AK1223 is high linearity mixer. RF and Lo frequency range coverage is from 3000 to 8500MHz and IF coverage is from 20 to 3000MHz. The RF input provides single-ended 50Ω interface. Lo ports are 50Ω matched and complementary input should be decoupled to the ground. IF output ports are differential open collector outputs. The linearity and power consumption performances can be optimized by the resistance connected to the BIAS Pin. 2.
