RF Mixers Procurement Notes

Verify that the specific order suffix matches the required package configuration, as standard listings may indicate tray packaging while datasheets specify coaxial connectors. Confirm RoHS compliance status, as the provided data indicates non-compliance. Ensure the selected variant aligns with the active product status and verify lead times directly with authorized distributors or the manufacturer for current availability.

RF Mixers Selection Notes

Select this component when a wideband mixer covering 2 GHz to 24 GHz is required. Consider the 13 dB conversion loss and 9.5 dB noise figure against system link budget requirements. Evaluate the thermal operating range from -54 °C to 100 °C for environmental suitability. The coaxial form factor dictates PCB layout constraints compared to surface-mount alternatives.
