High Intercept Point (IP 3 ) Mixers
Connectorized Packages |
|
Pulsar Microwave Corporation features a high performance series of triple balanced mixers
which offer superior IP 3 performance. Optimized to cover specific bands (such as Cellular,
PCS, LAN), a +10 dBm LO drive level results in a typical IP 3 of +21 dBm, while +17 dBm and
+23 LO drive levels result in typical IP 3 readings of +30 and +35 dBm respectively. Provide us
with your exact frequency ranges and power levels and we will be happy to guarantee an IP 3
specification for your application.
These high IP 3 mixers are available in a number of packaging styles including 8-pin relay headers,
TO5 & TO8 cans, flatpacks and connectorized housings. However, the most popular configuration is
our miniature surface mount packages which are ideal for large volume applications and can be
supplied on tape and reel to utilize automated pick and place assembly techniques.
