Notes:
1. Specifications are guaranteed when tested as a downconverter in a 50 Ohm system at +25˚C with the nominal LO power. Specifications indicated as typical are not guaranteed.
2. Noise figure is typically within ±0.5 dB of conversion loss for IF frequencies greater than 10 MHz.
3. Conversion loss typically degrades less than 0.5 dB at +100˚C and improves less than 0.5 dB at -55˚C.
4. Usable LO drives are up to 2 dB below and 3 dB above nominal.
IF to RF Isolation – dB
5. See Application note M112, for aid in selecting the outline and for mounting and installation information.
