Description
M/A-COM’s MAMXSS0013 is a passive mixer that
achieves the performance of a double balanced
diode mixer in a lead-free SOT-25 package. The
MAMXSS0013 is ideally suited for use where high
level RF signals and very wide dynamic range are
required. Typical applications include frequency up/
down conversion, modulation and demodulation in
receivers and transmitters for base station and
portable systems.
The MAMXSS0013 uses FETs as mixing elements
to achieve very wide dynamic range in a low cost
plastic package. The mixer operates with LO drive
levels of +3 dBm to +8 dBm. The LO port may be
externally tuned for operation in various frequency
bands.
M/A-COM’s MAMXSS0013 is fabricated using a
mature 0.5 micron gate length GaAs MESFET
process. The process features full passivation for
increased performance and reliability.
The
MAMXSS0013 is 100% RF tested to ensure
performance specification compliance.

lower frequency mixing term is shown for two different RF input
levels. The top number is for an RF input power of 0 dBm, the
lower number is for -10 dBm.
