Description Features

The AMMC-3040 is a broadband Double-Balanced Mixer (DBM) with an integrated high-gain LO amplier. This MMIC can be used as either an up converter or down converter in microwave or millimeter wave applications. If desired, the LO amplier can be biased to function as a frequency multiplier to enable second harmonic mixing of the LO input. The mixer section ofthe AMMC-3040 is fabricated using a suspended metal system to create a unique, broadside-coupled balun structure (patent pending) to achieve exceptional bandwidth. The MMIC provides repeatable conversion loss without tuning, mak- ing it highly suitable for automated assembly processes. For improved reliability and moisture protection, the die is passivated at the active areas. • High IIP3: +23 dBm • Wide bandwidth • RF: 18-36 GHz • LO: 18-36 GHz • IF: DC-3 GHz • Fundamental or subharmonic mixing • Up or down converter • Conversion loss: 9.5 dB • P1dB: +17 dBm • Low LO drive power: +2 dBm • Usable to 42 GHz
