General Description
Mimix Broadband’s 10.0-18.0 GHz GaAs packaged receiver has a noise figure of 2.7 dB and 20.0 dB image rejection across the band. This device is a two stage balanced LNA followed by an image reject sub-harmonic anti-parallel diode mixer and includes an integrated LO buffer amplifer. The image reject mixer eliminates the need for a bandpass filter after the LNA to remove thermal noise at the image frequency. I and Q mixer outputs are provided and an external 90 degree hybrid is required to select the desired sideband.
