Description
M/A-COMs MAMXSS0011 is a passive mixer that
achieves the performance of a double balanced
diode mixer in a lead-free surface mount plastic
SOIC-8 package. The MAMXSS0011 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, demodulation in systems
1 2 3 4
such as cellular receivers and transmitters and 900
MHz ISM band applications.
External matching network on LO Port: R = 470 ohms, L = 18 nH, C = 4.7 pF
The MAMXSS0011 uses FETs as mixing elements
to achieve very wide dynamic range in a low cost
plastic package. The mixer operates with LO drive
