Description

M/A-COM’s MAMXSS0013 is a passive mixer that

achieves the performance of a double balanced

diode mixer in a lead-free SOT-25 package. The

MAMXSS0013 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 base station and

portable systems.

The MAMXSS0013 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 +3 dBm to +8 dBm. The LO port may be

externally tuned for operation in various frequency

bands.

M/A-COM’s MAMXSS0013 is fabricated using a

mature 0.5 micron gate length GaAs MESFET

process. The process features full passivation for

increased

performance

and

reliability.

The

MAMXSS0013 is 100% RF tested to ensure

performance specification compliance.
