Description
Hewlett-Packard's IAM-82008 is a
complete moderate-power double-
balanced 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 load-
insensitive conversion gain and
good spurious signal suppression
and moderate dynamic range with
