up-converter that has a typical conversion gain of
11 dB, and an image rejection of greater than
15 dBc. The device includes a LO doubler and
buffer, and can be tuned to give 2LO leakage of
less than -15 dBm. Variable gain can be achieved
by adjusting the bias, with turn-down trajectories
optimized to maintain linearity and 2LO leakage
over the gain control range. At full gain, an OIP3 of
30 dBm is typical. It is ideally suited for 42 GHz
band point-to-point radios.
Each device is 100% RF tested to ensure
performance compliance. The part is fabricated
using an efficient pHEMT process.

Handling Procedures
Please observe the following precautions to avoid
damage:
Static Sensitivity
Gallium Arsenide Integrated Circuits are sensitive

App Note [1] Biasing -
As shown in the Pin Designations table, the device is operated by biasing V
D
1, V
D
2, and
V
D
3 at 4 V. The corresponding drain currents are set to 90 mA, 90 mA, and 120 mA respectively. V
G
4 requires a
fixed voltage bias of nominally -3 V. It is recommended to use active bias on V
G
1 and V
G
2 to keep the currents in
V
D
1 and V
D
2 constant, in order to maintain the best performance over temperature. The LO multiplier can be
operated with either a fixed gate V
G
3 > -0.6 V or fixed current 120 mA. In either scenario the performance of the
part should be the same. Depending on the supply voltages available and the power dissipation constraints, the
bias circuits may include a single transistor or a low power operational amplifier, with a low value resistor in series
with the drain supply to sense the current. Make sure to sequence the applied voltage to ensure negative gate
bias is available before applying the positive drain supply.
App Note [2] I/Q versus I*/Q* -
The IF input to the typical configuration is through a 90° hybrid coupler. The
hybrid splits the IF input into inphase and quadrature phase components. These two signals enter the
MAUC-010515 on either the I/Q pair, or the I*/Q* complimentary pair. Whichever pair are not used must be
terminated into 50 Ω. There are subtle differences between the performance when using the main IF ports (I, Q)
versus the complimentary ports (I*, Q*). For highest gain, best image rejection and lowest noise figure, the main
IF ports (I, Q) should be used.
