5 GHz to 30 GHz, GaAs, MMIC, Double Balanced Mixer

The ADMV1530 is a general-purpose, double balanced mixer in a leadless, RoHS compliant, surface-mount technology (SMT) package that can be used as an upconverter or downconverter between 5 GHz and 30 GHz. The wide bandwidth from 0 GHz to 10 GHz on the intermediate frequency (IF) port allows for flexible frequency planning to avoid spurious products. This mixer is fabricated in a gallium arsenide (GaAs), monolithic microwave integrated circuit (MMIC) process and requires no external components or matching circuitry.

The ADMV1530 provides excellent local oscillator (LO) to RF and LO to IF suppression due to optimized balun structures. The mixer operates with a typical LO amplitude of 19 dBm. The RoHS-compliant ADMV1530 eliminates the need for wire bonding, allowing the use of surface-mount manufacturing techniques.

The ADMV1530 is available in a compact, 4 mm × 4 mm, 18-terminal land grid array (LGA) package and operates over a −40°C to+85°C temperature range.
