MH102
Product Description
The MH102 is a passive GaAs MESFET mixer
that provides high dynamic range performance
in a low cost SOIC-8 package. WJ’s MH102
uses patented techniques to realize +32 dBm
Input IP3 at an LO drive level of +17 dBm.
This single monolithic integrated circuit does
not require any external baluns, bias, matching,
or decoupling elements. The on-chip diplexer
affords good matching on the RF and IF ports.
Typical applications include frequency up/
down conversion, modulation and demodulation for receivers and transmitters used in 3G
UMTS or 1930-1990 MHz PCS band mobile
infrastructure.
