Description
Avago Technologies’s IAM-92516 is a high linearity GaAs
FET Mixer using 0.5 μm enhancement mode pHEMT
technology. This device houses in Pb-free and Halogen
free 16 pins LPCC 3x3
[2]
plastic package. The IAM-92516
has built-in LO bu er ampli er which requires -3 dBm LO
power to deliver an input third order intercept point of
27 dBm. LO port is 50 ohm matched and can be driven
di erential or single ended while IF port is 200 ohm
matched and fully di erential. RF port requires external
matching network for optimum input return loss and
IIP3 performance.
RF and LO frequency range coverage from 400 to
3500 MHz and IF coverage is from DC to 300 MHz.
This mixer consumes 26 mA of current from a single
5V supply. Conversion loss is typically 6 dB and noise
gure is typically 12.5 dB. Excellent output power at 1 dB
compression of 9 dBm. LO to IF, LO to RF and RF to IF
isolation are greater than 30 dB.
The IAM-92516 is ideally suited for frequency up/
down conversion for base station radio card receiver
and transmitter, microwave link transceiver, MMDS,
modulation and demodulation for receiver and
transmitter and general purpose resistive FET mixer,
which require high linearity. All devices are 100% RF and
DC tested.
