Features
Sub-harmonic Transmitter Integrated IR Mixer, LO Buffer & Output Amplifier 2.0 dBm LO Drive Level 15.0 dB Image Rejection, 10.0 dB Conversion Gain 7x7 mm, QFN
Mimix Broadband’s 19.0-26.0 GHz GaAs MMIC transmitter has a +20.0 dBm output third order intercept and 15.0 dB image rejection across the band. This device is an image reject sub-harmonic anti-parallel diode mixer followed by a balanced two stage output amplifier and includes an integrated LO buffer amplifier. The image reject mixer reduces the need for unwanted sideband filtering before the power amplifier. The use of a sub-harmonic mixer makes the provision of the LO easier than for fundamental mixers at these frequencies.
