8 TO 12 GHz IMAGE REJECTION OR I/Q MIXERS
MODELS: IR0812LC2A, IRO812LC2B, IRO812LC2C AND IRO812LC2Q
FEATURES
• RF/LO Coverage ............ 8 to 12 GHz
• IF Operation .................. DC to 0.5 GHz
• LO Power Range ............ +10 to +13 dBm
• Conversion Loss ............. 6.5 dB Typical
• Image Rejection ............. 23 dB Typical
MITEQ’s IR series of image rejection mixers is useful for wideband test equipment or in ultra-broadband
receivers requiring rejection of an unwanted sideband of signal or noise following a low-noise front-end ampli-
fier. These mixers are also useful as linear single-sideband upconverters by operating in the reverse mode.
Higher RF input power versions are available with proportional increases in LO power. Greater image rejec-
tion is also available in selected bandwidths, including the IRE series for the 2 to 8 and 6 to 18 GHz bands.

GENERAL NOTES
1. Standard catalog unit aligned and tested for
guaranteed RF > LO performance. RF < LO
guaranteed performance is available, please
contact MITEQ.
2. Add 3 dB to conversion loss for Q option
(DC to 500 MHz, I/Q outputs).
3. Guaranteed at midband RF/LO.
