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 com-
munications applications requiring high intercept
point performance.
