General Description
Absolute Maximum Ratings1
Mimix Broadband’s 5.6-10.5 GHz GaAs MMIC integrated
up-converter has a typical LSB conversion gain of 8 dB,
and an image rejection of 15 dBc.The device includes an
LO Buffer amplifier, double balanced image reject mixer,
RF buffer amplifier and variable attenuator. Variable gain
regulation can be achieved through bias adjustment
with turn-down trajectories optimized to maintain
linearity and minimal LO leakage.The device comes in a
an RoHS compliant 4x4mm QFN surface mount package
offering excellent RF and thermal properties. Typical
applications for this device are as an up-converter stage
in linear C-Band radio transmit lineups.The device is well
suited for Millimeter-wave Point-to-Point Radio, LMDS,
SATCOM and VSAT applications.

(1) Operation of this device above any one of these parameters may
cause permanent damage.
(2) Channel temperature directly affects a device’s MTTF. Channel
temperature should be kept as low as possible to maximize lifetime.
