Description
M/A-COM’s MA4EX240L-1225 is a silicon monolithic 1700 -
2500 MHz double balanced mixer in a low cost miniature surface
mount SOT-25 package. The dies uses M/A-COM’s unique
HMIC™ silicon/glass process to achieve low loss passive ele-
ments while retaining th e advantages of low barrier silicon Schot-
tky diodes.
Applications
These mixers are well suited for high volume wireless applications
where small size and repeatability are required. Typical applica-
tions include frequency conversion, modulation, and demodula-
tion fo r receivers and transmitters in wireless LAN and other d ata
applications in the 2.4 GHz 15M band.
