Description
Pin Connections and
Package Marking
Agilent Technologies’s IAM-92516
is a high linearity GaAs FET Mixer
using 0.5 µm enhancement mode
pHEMT technology. This device
houses in Pb-free and Halogen free
16 pins LPCC 3x3[2] plastic
package. The IAM-92516 has built-
in LO buffer amplifier which
requires -3 dBm LO power to
deliver an input third order
intercept point of 27 dBm. LO port
is 50 ohm matched and can be
driven differential or single ended
while IF port is 200 ohm matched
and fully differential. RF port
requires external matching
• Wide band operation: 400-3500
MHz RF & LO input DC – 300 MHz
IF output
• Fully differential or single ended
operation
• High P1dB: 9 dBm typical
• Low current consumption: 5V@
26 mA typical
• Excellent uniformity in product
specifications
• Small LPCC 3.0 x 3.0 x 0.75 mm
package
• MTTF > 300 years[1]
• MSL-1 and lead-free
Notes:
network for optimum input return
loss and IIP3 performance.
Package marking provides orientation and
identification
“M3” = Device Code
“X” = Month code indicates the month of

• Tape-and-Reel packaging option
available
RF and LO frequency range
coverage from 400 to 3500 MHz
and IF coverage is from DC to 300
MHz. This mixer consumes 26 mA
of current from a single 5V supply.
Conversion loss is typically 6 dB
and noise figure is typically 12.5
dB. Excellent output power at 1 dB
compression of 9 dBm. LO to IF,
LO to RF and RF to IF isolation are
greater than 30 dB.
Applications
• Frequency up/down converter for
base station radio card, microwave
link transceiver, and MMDS
Attention:
Observe precautions for
handling electrostatic
sensitive devices.
• Modulation and demodulation for
receiver and transmitter
• General purpose resistive FET
mixer for other high linearity
applications
ESD Machine Model (Class A)
ESD Human Body Model (Class 1A)
The IAM-92516 is ideally suited for
frequency up/down conversion for
base station radio card receiver
and transmitter, microwave link
transceiver, MMDS, modulation
and demodulation for receiver and
transmitter and general purpose
resistive FET mixer, which require
high linearity. All devices are 100%
RF and DC tested.
