Product Description
The PE41901 is a passive double balanced, Ku band image reject mixer with high dynamic range performance
and high local oscillator (LO) isolation capable of operation up to 19 GHz. It can be used as an upconverter or a
downconverter. The PE41901 operates with single-ended signals on the radio frequency (RF) and LO ports. The
intermediate frequency (IF) port accepts broadband quadrature signals from DC–4 GHz. The device includes
two mixers, an LO path 90° coupler and RF port baluns on a single die. Integrating this functionality on a single
die reduces LO leakage and improves LO–RF isolation while minimizing board space and design effort. In
addition, no external blocking capacitors are required if 0 VDC is present on the LO or RF pins.
The PE41901 image reject mixer is ideal for Ku band earth terminals such as very small aperture terminal
(VSAT) block upconverters, point-to-point microwave links and test and measurement (T&M) applications.
The PE41901 is manufactured on Peregrine’s UltraCMOS
®
process, a patented variation of silicon-on-insulator
(SOI) technology on a sapphire substrate, offering the performance of GaAs with the economy and integration of
conventional CMOS.

Absolute Maximum Ratings
Exceeding absolute maximum ratings listed in
Table 1
may cause permanent damage. Operation should be
restricted to the limits in
Table 2.
Operation between operating range maximum and absolute maximum for
extended periods may reduce reliability.
ESD Precautions
When handling this UltraCMOS device, observe the same precautions as with any other ESD-sensitive devices.
Although this device contains circuitry to protect it from damage due to ESD, precautions should be taken to
avoid exceeding the rating specified in
Table 1.
Latch-up Immunity
Unlike conventional CMOS devices, UltraCMOS devices are immune to latch-up.

1) Image rejection is measured in upconversion mode. IF1 and IF2 quadrature input signals are generated using a pair of phase locked signal
generators. Employed method eliminates errors associated with traditional 90° hybrid.
2) The input P1dB compression point is a linearity figure of merit. Refer to
Table 2
for the operating input power (50Ω).
