This image reject mixer is well suited for wireless communications applications such as millimeter-wave point-to-point radio, local multipoint distribution services, and SATCOM.

"The exceptional bandwidth and linearity of this device make it useful for a wide range of applications," says Jim Harvey, CTO of Mimix Broadband Inc. "The use of fundamental 'cold FET' topology facilitates the design of high-performance wideband mixers with high linearity. Where high linearity is not required, the LO drive can be reduced while still maintaining good conversion loss." Mimix performs 100% on-wafer RF testing on the 20IRRFM0374, as well as 100% visual inspection in accordance with MILSTD-883, method 2010. The chip has surface passivation to protect it and to provide a rugged component with backside via holes and gold metallization. The device lends itself to a conductive-epoxy or an eutectic-solder, die-attach process.

Engineering samples are available from stock, and production quantities can be shipped six to eight weeks following the receipt of the order.
