MDB-54H+

RF Mixers Overview

The MDB-54H+ is a super wideband double balanced mixer manufactured using InGaP HBT technology. It functions as an up converter or down converter for LO and RF frequencies ranging from 20 to 50 GHz, covering IF bandwidths from DC to 20 GHz. The device operates with an LO power level of 15 dBm and is housed in a 12-MCLP (3x3) package.

RF Mixers Feature Summary

• Utilizes InGaP HBT technology for millimeter-wave performance
• Provides double-balanced topology for high isolation
• Supports both up-conversion and down-conversion operations

RF Mixers Applications

• Radar systems
• Wireless communication links
• Test and measurement equipment

RF Mixers Procurement Notes

Verify the specific datasheet revision and electrical test conditions prior to procurement, as Mini-Circuits specifications are based on established test performance data. Confirm that the 12-MCLP package dimensions and pinout align with the target PCB layout. Ensure the design accommodates the required 15 dBm LO drive level for optimal mixer operation within the specified frequency ranges.

RF Mixers Selection Notes

Select this component when a wideband solution is required for frequencies between 20 and 50 GHz with a DC to 20 GHz IF output. The InGaP HBT process offers robust performance for millimeter-wave applications. Consider the 12-MCLP footprint for compact designs requiring high isolation typical of double-balanced mixers.

RF Mixers Part Context

This part belongs to Mini-Circuits' series of millimeter-wave MMIC mixers, which also includes models like the MDB-44H+. These components are designed for high-frequency signal processing tasks where wide bandwidth and stable conversion characteristics are critical for system integrity.

RF Mixers Replacement Considerations

The MDB-44H+ is a documented substitute within the same product family, offering similar double-balanced functionality but potentially differing in specific frequency coverage or package details. Verify electrical compatibility before substitution.
