Description

M/A-COM’s MAMXSS0011 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 MAMXSS0011 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 cellular receivers and transmitters and 900

MHz ISM band applications.

The MAMXSS0011 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. DC bias is

not required.

M/A-COM’s MAMXSS0011 is fabricated using a

mature

1-micron

GaAs

process.
