Description

M/A-COM’s MAMXSS0010 is a passive mixer that

achieves the performance of a double balanced

diode mixer in a lead-free surface mount plastic

SOIC-8 package. The MAMXSS0010 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, demodulation in systems

such as base station receivers and transmitters for

DCS1800, PCS and PHS applications.

The MAMXSS0010 uses FETs as mixing elements

to achieve very wide dynamic range in a low cost

plastic package. The mixer operates with LO drive

levels of +11 dBm to +23 dBm. No DC bias is

required.

M/A-COM’s MAMXSS0010 is fabricated using a

mature

1-micron

GaAs

process.
