The IAM series of Gilbert
multiplier-based frequency
converters is fabricated using
Hewlett Packard's 10 GHz fT 25
GHz fMAX ISOSAT™-1 silicon
bipolar process. This process uses
nitride self-alignment, submicrom-
eter lithography, trench isolation,
ion implantation, gold
metallization, and polyimide inter-
metal dielectric and scratch
protection to achieve excellent
performance, uniformity and
reliability.

Description
Hewlett-Packard's IAM-82008 is a
complete moderate-power double-
balanced active mixer housed in a
miniature low cost surface mount
package. It is designed for narrow
or wide bandwidth commercial
and industrial applications having
RF inputs up to 5 GHz. Operation
of RF and LO frequencies below
50 MHz can be achieved using
optional external capacitors to
ground.TheIAM-82008is
