IP3 is dependent on LO drive and waveform. See plots and data sheet notes on page 10 for more details. Part Number Options Model Number Description MT3-0113HCQG-2 1 RoHS Compliant Surface Mount, IF Port Configuration -2 EVAL-MT3-0113H Connectorized Evaluation Fixture 1Note: For port locations and I/O designations, refer to the drawings on page 2 of this document. The MT3-0113HCQG is a triple balanced passive diode GaAs MMIC mixer offering high dynamic range, low conversion loss, and excellent repeatability. As with all T3 mixers, this mixer offers unparalleled nonlinear performance in terms of IIP3, P1dB, and spurious performance with a flexible LO drive requirement from +16 dBm to +24 dBm. The MT3-0113HCQG is available in a surface-mount outline, or in an SMA connectorized evaluation fixture. The MT3-0113HCQG is a superior alternative to Marki Microwave carrier and packaged T3 mixers, and is form-fit compatible with legacy T3’s in the CQ and CQG footprints. For a list of recommended LO driver amps for all mixers and IQ mixers, see here.

Configuration A/B refer to the same part number (MT3-0113HCQG) used in one of two different ways for optimal spurious performance. For the lowest conversion loss, use the mixer in Configuration A (port 1 as the LO input, port 3 as the RF input or output). If you need to use a lower LO drive, use the mixer in Configuration B (port 1 as the RF input or output, port 3 as the LO input). For optimal spurious suppression, experimentation or simulation is required to choose between Configuration A and B. For more information, see here.

B Downconversion Spurious Suppression Spurious data is taken by selecting RF and LO frequencies (+mLO+nRF) within the RF/LO bands, to create a spurious output within the IF band. The mixer is swept across the full spurious band and the mean is calculated. The numbers shown in the table below are for a -10 dBm RF input. Spurious suppression is scaled for different RF power levels by (n- 1), where “n” is the RF spur order. For example, the 2RFx2LO spur is 68 dBc for the A configuration for a -10 dBm input with a sine-wave LO, so a -20 dBm RF input creates a spur that is (2-1) x (-10 dB) dB lower, or 78 dBc.

B Upconversion Spurious Suppression Spurious data is taken by mixing an input within the IF band, with LO frequencies (+mLO+nIF), to create a spurious output within the RF output band. The mixer is swept across the full spurious output band and the mean is calculated. The numbers shown in the table below are for a -10 dBm IF input. Spurious suppression is scaled for different IF input power levels by (n-1), where “n” is the IF spur order. For example, the 2IFx1LO spur is typically 67 dBc for the A configuration for a -10 dBm input with a sine-wave LO, so a -20 dBm IF input creates a spur that is (2-1) x (-10 dB) dB lower, or 77 dBc.

Revision History

Revision Code Revision Date Comment - October 2018 Pre-release A February 2019 Active - Full Production B May 2020 Changed cover to ceramic DATA SHEET NOTES: 1. Mixer Conversion Loss Plot IF frequency is 100 MHz unless otherwise specified. 2. Mixer Noise Figure typically measures within 0.5 dB of conversion loss for IF frequencies greater than 5 MHz. 3. Conversion Loss typically degrades less than 0.5 dB at +100°C and improves less than 0.5 dB at -55°C. 4. Unless otherwise specified, sine-wave data is taken with +20 dBm LO drive. 5. The square-wave LO is generated using an ADM-0012-5931SM pre-amplifier and an ADM-0026-5929SM output amplifier. The two amplifiers are biased with +7V, -0.25V. When specified, square-wave output power is the total of the fundamental plus harmonics. Unspecified square-wave LO (unspecified output power) is generated by saturating the amplifier chain with a +12 dBm input. 6. Specifications are subject to change without notice. Contact Marki Microwave for the most recent specifications and data sheets. 7. Catalog mixer circuits are continually improved. Configuration control requires custom mixer model numbers and specifications. 8. Environmental specifications are currently under evaluation. Contact support for more information.
