Description
Alpha’s image rejection balanced GaAs Schottky diode
mixer has a typical conversion loss of 8 dB at an LO power
level as low as 11 dBm over the band 26–33 GHz. An
external 90° IF hybrid is required to combine the IF₁ and
IF₂ signals at the desired IF frequency. The chip uses
Alpha’s proven Schottky diode technology, and is based
upon MBE layers for the highest uniformity and
repeatability. The diodes employ surface passivation to
ensure a rugged, reliable part with through-substrate via
holes and gold-based backside metallization to facilitate
an epoxy die attach process. All chips are screened for
DC diode parameters and lot samples are RF measured
to guarantee performance. This device is recommended
for applications requiring down conversion.
