Description
M/A-COM’s MAMXSS0013 is a passive mixer that
achieves the performance of a double balanced
diode mixer in a lead-free SOT-25 package. The
MAMXSS0013 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 and demodulation in
receivers and transmitters for base station and
portable systems.

The MAMXSS0013 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 +3 dBm to +8 dBm. The LO port may be
externally tuned for operation in various frequency
bands.
