2 TO 18 GHz MIXER/IF AMPLIFIER
MODEL: DA0218LR5
FEATURES
• Double-balanced mixer
with integrated IF amplifier
• RF/LO coverage ................... 2 to 18 GHz
• IF operation .......................... 10 to 250 MHz
• LO power range ................... +10 to +13 dBm
• Packaging............................. Hermetically sealed
MITEQ’s DA Series combines our double-balanced mixer with a low noise IF amplifier to provide an integrated con-
verter module. This design is particularly well suited to broadband downconverter receiver applications such as ESM
and ELINT systems or test equipment applications requiring flat RF to IF amplitude and phase characteristics (e.g.,
FMCW or narrow pulse systems).
