FMWGMX1002

RF Mixers Overview

The FMWGMX1002 is a waveguide converter mixer manufactured by Fairview Microwave, designed for Q Band applications. It operates within a radio frequency range of 33 GHz to 50 GHz and supports an intermediate frequency from DC to 17 GHz. The device requires a local oscillator power of +13 dBm and features a UG-383/U flange interface. Maximum conversion loss is specified at 10 dB. The operational temperature range extends from -10 C to +45 C. This component utilizes WR-22 waveguide technology for high-frequency signal mixing.
