Description
M/A-COM’s MD54-0006 is a passive mixer that achieves the
performance of a double balanced diode mixer in an ultra-miniature
SOT-25 package. The MD54-0006 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
basestation and portable systems.

The MD54-0006 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.

M/A-COM's MD54-0006 is fabricated using a mature 0.5 micron
gate length GaAs MESFET process. The process features full
passivation for increased performance and reliability. The MD54-
0006 is 100 % RF tested to ensure performance specification
compliance.
* If specific reel size is required, consult factory for part number
assignment.
