Description
M/A-COM’s MA4EX2401 is a Passive GaAs MMIC
Schottky Diode Double Balanced Mixer designed for
24 GHz Operation.
The GaAs Quad Schottky diodes are fabricated on OMCVD
epitaxial wafers using a process designed for repeatable
electrical characteristics and extremely low parasitics.
These Diodes are fully passivated with Silicon Nitride and
have an additional layer of Polyamide for scratch
protection. This protective coating prevents damage to the
junction during automated, or manual handling; which
makes them suitable for pick and place insertion.
Applications
These mixers are well suited for high volume Automotive
Radar applications where small size and exceptional
performance are required. Typical applications include
frequency conversion (Up/Down Converters).
