Description
M/A-COM’s MD54-0003 is a passive mixer that
achieves the performance of a double balanced
diode mixer in a low cost surface mount plastic
SOIC-8 lead package. The MD54-0003 is ideally
suited for use where high level RF signals and very
wide
applications include frequency up/down conversion,
modulation, demodulation in systems such as base
station receivers and transmitters for DCS1800,
PCS and PHS applications.
The MD54-0003 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 +11 dBm to +23 dBm. No DC bias is
required.
M/A-COM’s MD54-0003 is fabricated using a mature
1-micron GaAs process. The process features full IC
passivation
reliability.
