MD54-0007

Description

M/A-COM’s MD54-0007 is a passive mixer that
achieves the performance of a double balanced diode
mixer in an ultra-miniature SOT-25 package. The
MD54-0007 is ideally suited for use where high level
RF signals and very wide dynamic range are required.
Typical applications include frequency up/down
conversion, modulation, and demodulation in
receivers and transmitters for basestation and portable
systems.

The MD54-0007 employs GaAs FETs as mixing
elements to achieve a very wide dynamic range in a
low cost plastic package. The mixer operates with LO
drive levels of +13 dBm to +18 dBm. The LO port
may be externally tuned for operation in various
frequency bands.

M/A-COM's GaAs IC is fabricated using a mature 0.5
micron gate length GaAs MESFET process. The
process features full passivation for increased
performance and reliability.
