that has a typical conversion gain of 13 dB, and an
image rejection of 18 dBc. The device includes a
LO quadrupler, LO buffer amplifier, and RF buffer
amplifier. Variable gain can be achieved by
adjusting the bias, with turn-down trajectories
optimized to maintain linearity and 4LO leakage
over the gain control range. The output IP3 is
32 dBm at maximum gain.
The MAUC-011009 is ideally suited for 38 GHz band
point-to-point radios under both LSB and USB
operation.
Each device is 100%
performance compliance.
