QPX0001

    6 - 26 GHz I/Q Mixer

    Key Features

    • I, Q Outputs
    • RF, LO Frequency Range: 6 - 26 GHz
    • IF Frequency Range: DC - 3 GHz
    • Low conversion loss of 8 dB at 14 GHz
    • High image rejection of 25 dB
    • High LO/RF isolation > 45 dB at 14 GHz
    • Wide operating bandwidth
    • Small Package Size: 3.9 x 3.9 x 0.9 mm

    Qorvo’s QPX0001 is a compact, wideband I/Q GaAs mixer housed in a 3.9 x 3.9 mm air cavity surface mount ceramic package. Operating over the 6 to 26 GHz bandwidth, the mixer can be configured as an image reject mixer, a single sideband upconverter, or a QPSK modulator/demodulator.

    The QPX0001 utilizes two double balanced mixer cells and a 90⁰ hybrid internal to the MMIC. An external 90⁰ IF hybrid is required to complete the image rejection or sideband suppression.

    The QPX0001 is a much smaller alternative to higher cost hybrid I/Q Mixers and single sideband upconverter assemblies.
