CMD253C3
6-14 GHz (C, X, Ku Band) High IP3 Double Balanced Mixer
Key Features
- High IP3
- High isolation
- Low conversion loss
- Pb-free RoHS compliant 3x3 SMT package
- Wide IF bandwidth
Qorvo's CMD253C3 is a high IP3 double balanced mixer in a leadless surface mount package that can be used for up- and downconverting applications between 6 and 14 GHz. The CMD253C3 has very high isolation to both the RF and IF ports due to the optimized balun structures, and can operate with an LO drive level as low as +15 dBm. The CMD253C3 can easily be configured as an image reject mixer or single sideband modulator with external hybrids and power splitters.
Typical Applications
- Electronic Warfare (EW)
- C Band Radar
- X Band Radar
- Ku Band Radar
- Space
- Satellite Communications (Satcom)
- Test & Measurement

Keysight Model Library
This product is included in our Keysight PathWave System Design (SystemVue) and PathWave RF Synthesis (Genesys) compatible component libraries.
X-Microwave Design System
This product is available as an X-Microwave Block (X-MWblock) for evaluation.
X-MWblocks are RF and microwave "drop-in" components that can be used individually for prototyping or in production assemblies. X-MWblocks are easy to test, integrate, align, and configure to 60 GHz and beyond. No messy sweat soldering or silver epoxy processes are required. X-MWblocks are highly characterized with S-parameter models and connect with a patented solder-less interconnect technology.
