Mercury Systems has developed two new broadband mixer solutions – AM5007 & AM5008 – designed for versatile applications requiring exceptional bandwidth and performance from S to Ka-band. These wideband double-balanced mixers have an RF Frequecny from 6 to 27 GHz / 6 to 24 GHz and are available in standard 3mm surface-mountable QFN packages.
AM5007: 6 to 27 GHz Double Balanced Mixer
AM5007 is a wideband, double-balanced mixer that provides performance across the K and Ka-bands. With low conversion loss and high linearity, the mixer is designed to operate in demanding, low-SWaP-C applications where size and cost are critical. The AM5007 can be paired with Mercury’s AM1157 Driver Amplifier to provide the necessary LO drive level into the mixer.
Key Features:
- 6 to 27 GHz RF
- 7 dB Conversion Loss
- DC to 8 GHz IF
- +20 dBm IIP3
- 40 dB Typical LO to RF Isolation
- +13 dBm to +20 dBm LO drive
- 3mm SMT QFN Package
- -40C to +85C Operation
AM5008: 2 to 24 GHz RF/LO Frequency Range
AM5008 is a double-balanced mixer offering industry-leading broadband coverage from S to K-band. Packaged in a 3mm QFN, the AM5008 mixer is ideally suited for low SWaP-C applications. Mercury provides multiple amplifier options to drive the LO, such as AM1136 or AM1160.
Key Features:
- 2 to 24 GHz RF
- 8.5 dB Conversion Loss
- DC to 3 GHz IF
- +18 dBm IIP3
- 16 to 20 dBm LO drive
- 38 dB Typical LO to RF Isolation
- 3 mm SMT QFN Package
- -40 °C to +85 °C Operation
