Spurious Table

The spurious table shows the spurious signals resulting from the

mixing of the RF and LO input signals, assuming down

conversion. Mixing products are indicated by the number of dB

below the conversion loss. The lower frequency mixing term is

shown for two different RF input levels. The top number is for an

RF input power of -5 dBm, the lower number is for -15 dBm.

3. Exceeding any one or combination of these limits may cause

permanent damage to this device.

4. M/A-COM does not recommend sustained operation near

these survivability limits.

5. Total combined power for RF and LO ports should not

exceed +23 dBm.

Handling Procedures

Please observe the following precautions to avoid

damage:

Static Sensitivity

Gallium Arsenide Integrated Circuits are sensitive

to electrostatic discharge (ESD) and can be

damaged by static electricity. Proper ESD control

techniques should be used when handling these

devices.
