Description
The AM028S1-A2 is a broadband millimeterwave mixer
in a rugged surface mount package that is compatible with
high volume solder installation.The single balanced down
converter mixer is designed for use in millimeterwave
communication and sensor systems as a frequency
conversion stage in the receiv er chain when wide dynamic
range and high linearity are required.The robust ceramic
surface mount package provides excellent electrical
performance and a high degree of environmental
protection for long-term reliability .All mixers are screened
at the operating frequencies prior to shipment for
guaranteed performance.Mixer is targeted for high volume
millimeterwave applications such as point-to-point and
point-to-multipoint wireless communications systems.
