Description

M/A-COM’s MD-189 and MDS-189 are high level

termination insensitive mixers.

These devices are

packaged in 8-lead flatpack and SMT packages.

These mixers offer consistent and repeatable flat

intermodulation performance and flat conversion

loss with low spurious signal generation independent

of system mismatch from 1 to 3500 MHz.

The

MD-189 and MDS-189 are ideally suited for RF/IF

communications applications requiring high intercept

point performance.
