CMD181K3

26 - 44 GHz Double Balanced Mixer

Qorvo's CMD181K3 is a general purpose, double balanced mixer in a leadless 3 x 3 mm air cavity surface mount package. Operating over the RF bandwidth of 26 to 44 GHz, the mixer has very low conversion loss and high isolations to both the RF and IF ports due to the optimized balun structures. The mixer can also be configured as either an image reject mixer or a single sideband upconverter with external hybrids and power splitters.

The CMD181K3 is a much smaller alternative to higher cost hybrid mixer assemblies.
