M2TC

RF Mixers Overview

The M2TC is a triple-balanced RF mixer IC designed as a general-purpose down converter. It operates within a frequency range of 10MHz to 2.4GHz for both RF and LO inputs, with an IF frequency range of 10MHz to 1GHz. The device features a conversion loss between 7.5dB and unspecified upper limits, alongside a noise figure of 7dB. Packaged in a module with SMA connectors, it supports three internal mixers.

RF Mixers Procurement Notes

Verify the specific datasheet revision and ordering suffixes directly with MACOM Technology Solutions or authorized distributors. Confirm that the package configuration matches the required SMA connector specifications for your design. Ensure compatibility with the intended operating temperature range and supply voltage requirements before finalizing procurement.

RF Mixers Selection Notes

Select the M2TC when a robust triple-balanced mixer is required for down-conversion tasks within the 10MHz to 2.4GHz spectrum. Consider its integrated SMA connectors for simplified board layout if external matching networks are not preferred. Evaluate the 7dB noise figure against system sensitivity requirements to ensure adequate performance for the target application.
