The SMIQ-6243H+ is a passive, wideband in phase/quadrature (I/Q) mixer fabricated using GaAs HBT technology. The SMIQ6243H+ is usable as a single-sideband upconverter for transmit applications or an image rejection mixer for receiver applications. The SMIQ-6243H+ is ideal for wideband frequency translation applications that require inherent rejection of image signals and spurious mixing products. The mixer covers a wide frequency range with RF and LO frequency range of 6 to 24 GHz and an IF
frequency range of DC to 6 GHz. As a passive mixer, the SMIQ-6243H+ offers lower noise figure than active mixers ensuring superior dynamic range for high performance applications. The mixer is housed in a compact 4×4 mm QFN style package and no DC bias is needed for operation.
