Technical Highlights
1. Second-Harmonic Mixing-Reduces LO Frequency Requirements
Traditional mixers require extremely high LO frequencies in the 120-160GHz frequency band. This product employs second-harmonic mixing technology, requiring only 60-80GHz LO input, thereby greatly reducing system design challenges and cost.
2. DC-30GHz Ultra-Wide IF-Suitable for Multi-Scenario Applications
Supports a wide IF output from DC to 30GHz, suitable for various application scenarios and offering high flexibility.
3. Excellent IQ Balance Performance
Amplitude imbalance is only ±0.6dB, ensuring high consistency between I and Q signals and reducing modulation errors. Phase imbalance is only± 4 °, ensuring precise orthogonal characteristics and improving signal demodulation quality.
4. Low Conversion Loss-Optimizes System Noise Performance
Conversion loss is as low as 11dB, reducing signal attenuation and improving the overall signal-to-noise ratio (SNR) of the system, especially suitable for high-sensitivity receiver applications.
With its advantages of ultra wide bandwidth, low loss, and high IQ balance, the 120–160 GHz IQ second-harmonic mixer is set to become a key component in millimeter wave and terahertz fields. It delivers outstanding performance support for both cutting edge research and commercial applications.
