General Description
Mimix Broadband’s 10.0-34.0 GHz GaAs MMIC
fundamental image reject mixer with high linearity has
a conversion loss of 8.0 dB with a 20.0 dB image
rejection across the band. I and Q mixer outputs are
provided and an external 90 degree hybrid is required
to select the desired sideband. This MMIC uses Mimix
Broadband’s 0.15 µm GaAs PHEMT device model
technology, and is based upon electron beam
lithography to ensure high repeatability and
uniformity. The device comes in a low-cost 4x4 mm
QFN surface mount plastic package. This device is well
suited for Millimeter-wave Point-to-Point Radio, LMDS,
SATCOM and VSAT applications.

The coupled port can be used as an alternate
input but the port location of the Coupled and
Direct ports reverse.

An alternate method of Selection of USB or LSB:
For Lower Side Band Operation (LSB):
With IF1 and IF2 connected to the
direct port (0º) and coupled port (90º)
respectively as shown in the diagram,
the LSB signal will reside on the input
port. The isolated port must be loaded
with 50 ohms.
With IF1 and IF2 connected to the
direct port (0º) and coupled port (90º)
respectively as shown in the diagram,

support devices or systems are devices or systems which, (a) are intended for surgical implant into the body, or (b) support or sustain
life, and whose failure to perform when properly used in accordance with instructions for use provided in the labeling, can be
reasonably expected to result in a significant injury to the user. (2) A critical component is any component of a life support device or
system whose failure to perform can be reasonably expected to cause the failure of the life support device or system, or to affect its
safety or effectiveness.
Package Attachment - This packaged product from Mimix Broadband is provided as a rugged surface mount package compatible
with high volume solder installation. The package is a low-cost plastic package. Vacuum tools or other suitable pick and place
equipment may be used to pick and place this part. Care should be taken to ensure that there are no voids or gaps in the solder
connection so that good RF, DC and ground connections are maintained. Voids or gaps can eventually lead not only to RF
performance degradation, but reduced reliability and life of the product due to thermal stress.
Mimix Lead-Free RoHS Compliant Program - Mimix has an active program in place to meet customer and governmental
requirements for eliminating lead (Pb) and other environmentally hazardous materials from our products. All Mimix RoHS compliant
components are form, fit and functional replacements for their non-RoHS equivalents. Lead plating of our RoHS compliant parts is
100% matt tin (Sn) over copper alloy and is backwards compatible with current standard SnPb low-temperature reflow processes as
well as higher temperature (260°C reflow) “Pb Free” processes.
