Mini-Circuits has introduced the SMIQ-134H+, a wideband, low conversion loss MMIC IQ mixer developed for use in sensitive Rx and Tx applications. The RF and LO ports operate from 10 to 30 GHz, and the IF from DC to 7 GHz, making this model suitable for applications in 5G FR2, SATCOM, EW, and Test & Measurement. High linearity, isolation, and image rejection make this mixer a worthy choice for any application with high-dynamic range requirements. Housed in a 4x4 mm 24-lead QFN-style package, the SMIQ-134H+ MMIC IQ mixer occupies minimal board space, while contributing to outstanding system performance.
The SMIQ-134H+ is a passive wideband in-phase/quadrature (I/Q) mixer fabricated using GaAs HBT technology. It is usable as a single-sideband upconverter for transmit applications or an image rejection mixer for receiver applications. This mixer is ideal for wideband frequency translation applications requiring inherent rejection of image signals and spurious mixing products. As a passive mixer, the SMIQ-134H+ offers a lower noise figure than active mixers, enabling superior dynamic range for high-performance applications.
Key Features of SMIQ-134H+:
- Wideband, 10 to 30 GHz RF & LO, and DC to 7 GHz IF
