M/A-COM Tech’s 17.0-34.0 GHz GaAs packaged up-converter has an input third order intercept point of +23.0 dBm and 10.0 dB of conversion loss. The device consists of a balanced resistive pHEMT mixer, LO buffer amplifier and LO doubler packaged in an industry standard, fully molded 4x4mm QFN package. IF and *IF mixer inputs are provided and an external 180 degree hybrid is required. The device includes on-chip ESD protection structures and DC by-pass capacitors to ease the implementation and volume assembly of the packaged part. This device is well suited for Millimeter-wave Point-to-Point Radio, LMDS, SATCOM and VSAT applications.
