Description

M/A-COM’s MA4EX240H-1225 is a silicon monolithic
1700-2500 MHz double balanced mixer in a low cost
miniature surface mount SOT-25 package. The die uses
M/A-COM’s unique HMICTM silicon/glass process to
achieve low loss passive elements while retaining the
advantages of high barrier silicon Schottky diodes.

Applications

These mixers are well suited for high volume WLAN and
cellular applications where small size and repeatability are
required. Typical applications include frequency
conversion, modulation, and demodulation for receivers
and transmitters in both portable cellular and base
station applications.
