Description and Applications

M/A-COM's

MA4EXP950H1-1277T

is

a

silicon

monolithic 850-1050 MHz, high barrier, double

balanced mixer in a low cost, miniature surface

mount FQFP-N 3mm Square, 16 lead plastic

package. The die uses M/A-COM’s unique HMIC

silicon/glass process to realize low loss passive

elements while retaining the advantages of high

barrier silicon schottky barrier diodes to produce a

compact device.

These mixers are well suited for GSM and CDMA

cellular basestation infrastructure applications where

small size and high performance is required.

Typical applications include frequency conversion,

modulation, and demodulation in wireless receivers

and transmitters.
