Description and Applications
M/A-COM’s MA4EX180H-1225T is a silicon
monolithic 1300-1900 MHz double balanced mixer in
a low cost miniature surface mount SOT-25
package. The die uses M/A-COM’s unique HMICTM
silicon/glass process to achieve low loss passive
elements while retaining the advantages of high
barrier silicon Schottky diodes.
These mixers are well suited for high volume
wireless and cellular applications where small size
and repeatability are required. Typical applications
include frequency conversion, modulation, and
demodulation for receivers and transmitters in both
portable cellular and base station applications.
