FMMX94 Field Replaceable SMA IQ Mixer From 15 GHz to 23 GHz With an IF Range From DC to 3.5 GHz And LO Power of +17 dbm FMMX94 is an I/Q double balanced millimeter-wave mixer module that operates across an RF and LO frequency range from 15 GHz to 23 GHz with an IF frequency range of DC to 3.5 GHz. The design utilizes leading edge GaAs MESFET MMIC technology that offers high linearity with reliable and consistent performance. This I/Q mixer design incorporates 2 double balanced mixer cells and a 9 hybrid and can operate as a single sideband upconverter, or an image reject mixer (IRM). For downconversion applications, an external quadrature IF hybrid can be used to select the desired sideband while rejecting image signals. Typical performance is impressive with 3 db image rejection, 35 db LO to RF isolation, and +25 dbm input IP3. The LO drive level is +17 dbm with typical conversion loss of 8 db. The drop-in package is hermetically sealed with field replaceable SMA connectors. Operating temperature range is 5 C to +85 C. And for added confidence, this rugged package assembly is designed to meet MIL-STD-883 test conditions for Hermeticity and Temperature Cycle. This I/Q double balanced Mixer module is part of Fairview Microwave s expanding line of Mixers. These Mixers are high performance modules that offer excellent performance. The family of mixers has a variety of mixer types including Double Balanced Mixers, I/Q Double Balanced Mixer Modules, and others that cover up to Millimeter-Wave Frequencies.
