ADMV1550 Description
The ADMV1550 is a general-purpose, double balanced mixer in a leadless, RoHS compliant, surface-mount technology (SMT) package that can be used as an upconverter or downconverter between 15 GHz and 65 GHz. The wide bandwidth from DC to 20 GHz on the intermediate frequency (IF) port allows flexible frequency planning to avoid spurious products. This mixer is fabricated in a gallium arsenide (GaAs), monolithic microwave integrated circuit (MMIC) process and requires no external components or matching circuitry. The ADMV1550 provides excellent local oscillator (LO) to RF and LO to IF suppression due to optimized balun structures. The mixer operates with a typical LO amplitude 15 dBm. The RoHS-compliant ADMV1550 eliminates the need for wire bonding, allowing the use of surface-mount manufacturing techniques. The ADMV1550 is available in a compact 4 mm × 4 mm, 18-terminal land grid array (LGA) package and operates over −40°C to +85°C temperature range.
