Description

Hewlett-Packard's IAM-82008 is a complete moderate-power doublebalanced active mixer housed in a miniature low cost surface mount package. It is designed for narrow or wide bandwidth commercial
and industrial applications having RF inputs up to 5 GHz. Operation of RF and LO frequencies below 50 MHz can be achieved using optional external capacitors to ground. The IAM-82008 is particularly well suited for applications that require loadinsensitive conversion gain and good spurious signal suppression and moderate dynamic range with low LO power. Typical applications include frequency
down-conversion, up-conversion, modulation, demodulation, and phase detection. Markets include fiber-optics, GPS satellite navigation, mobile radio, and communications transmitters and receivers.

The IAM series of Gilbert multiplier-based frequency converters is fabricated using Hewlett Packard's 10 GHz fT 25 GHz fMAX ISOSAT™-1 silicon bipolar process. This process uses nitride self-alignment,  ubmicrometer lithography, trench isolation, ion implantation, gold metallization, and polyimide intermetal dielectric and scratch protection to achieve excellent performance, uniformity and reliability.
