Description and Applications
M/A-COM’s MA4EX1201-1300 is a Passive GaAs
MMIC Schottky Diode Double Balanced Mixer
designed for 11-15 GHz Operation.
The GaAs Quad Schottky diodes are fabricated on
OMCVD epitaxial wafers using a process designed
for repeatable electrical characteristics and
extremely low parasitics.
These mixers are well suited for high volume
applications where small size and exceptional
performance are required. Typical applications
include frequency conversion (Up/Down Converters).
