The Sirenza SPM-2045 is a passive mixer designed for systems that require high linearity down- or up-conversion. It employs proprietary silicon FETs with proven reliable core-and-wire baluns. It operates efficiently over a wide range of Local Oscillator powers, with input third order intercept remaining approximately 15-18 dB above LO power over this range. This product is packaged in a stan- dard surface mount module for excellent RF performance.

This mixer features a wide latitude in LO power requirements. Conversion loss remains quite constant between 10dBm and 20dBm of LO power. Third Order Intercept is approximately proportional to the LO drive. This means that this mixer can be used to replace a wide variety of mixers requiring a variety of LO powers. The graphs on the following pages illustrate the performance of the SPM-2045 over a variety of operating conditions. In order to duplicate these performance tests, the following precautions should be observed: -The mixer should be presented with good return losses at all ports by using isolators or attenuators. This is especially true of the LO port, because of the poor return loss of this port. If ripple is seen in a frequency sweep, it is likely due to reflections caused by poor VSWR in a cable leading up to the device. -The presence of harmonics in the LO can cause changes in TOI. -Be aware that signals of many different frequencies exist at the output of the mixer, and any one can potentially cause the spectrum analyzer to generate intermod. -When measuring TOI, make sure the two generators supplying the RF signal are not interacting, causing intermod them- selves. Absolute Maximum Ratings Parameters Value Unit RF Input +15 dBm LO Input +21 dBm IF Input +15 dBm Operating Temperature -40 to +85 ºC Storage Temperature -65 to +150 ºC Operation of this device beyond any one of these limits may cause permanent damage. For reliable continuous operation the device voltage and current must not exceed the maximum oper- ating values specified in the table on page one. Caution: ESD Sensitive Appropriate precaution in handling, packaging and testing devices must be observed.

In this case, the mixer is operated as a down-converter with LO drive of 17dBm and an IF frequency of 150MHz. Three LO frequencies are shown. In the left graph, a variable-length 50 ohm transmission line ("trombone") is placed between the IF port of the mixer and a 2 dB, open-circuited attenuator to provide a 4dB return loss to the IF port. The length of the transmission line is changed to vary the phase of the reflection coefficient, thus providing a variable impedance. This graph shows how the input TOI varies with the phase of the reflection coefficient. Notice that significant degradation in TOI can occur with mismatch, depending on the phase of the mismatch. In the right graph, a double-stub tuner is placed between the RF source and the mixer in order to provide a non-50 ohm impedance to the RF port. The stub separation was adjusted to provide a reflection coefficient of approximately -4 dB. The tuner length was changed to vary the phase of the reflection coefficient, thus providing a variable impedance. This graph shows how the input TOI varies with the phase of the reflection coefficient on the RF port. Note that the TOI is very tolerant of variations in load impedance, showing a change of only 3dB.
