Description
The AM028D1-A2 is a broadband millimeterwave mixer
in a rugged surface mount package which is compatible
with high volume solder installation. The double balanced
down converter mixer is designed for use in
millimeterwave communication and sensor systems as a
frequency converter in the receiver chain when wide
dynamic range and high isolation are required. The robust
ceramic surface mount package provides excellent
electrical performance and a high degree of
environmental protection for long-term reliability. All mixers
are screened at the operating frequencies prior to
shipment for guaranteed performance. Mixer is targeted
for high volume millimeterwave applications such as point-
to-point and point-to-multipoint wireless communications
systems.
