SIM-153LH+

RF Mixers Overview

The SIM-153LH+ is a double-balanced surface-mount RF mixer manufactured by Mini-Circuits. It operates within a frequency range of 3.2 GHz to 15 GHz for both RF and LO ports, with an intermediate frequency (IF) range extending from 0 Hz to 4 GHz. The device features a maximum conversion loss of 10.3 dB and an output third-order intercept point (OIP3) of 18 dBm. Designed for robust performance, it functions reliably across a temperature range of -40°C to +85°C. The component utilizes silicon technology and is housed in a compact SMD package measuring 5.08 mm x 4.57 mm x 2.21 mm.

RF Mixers Procurement Notes

Verify the specific ordering suffix and RoHS compliance status against the latest manufacturer datasheet before procurement. Confirm that the requested quantity aligns with available packaging options such as cut tape or reel formats. Ensure that the application environment remains within the specified operating temperature limits of -40°C to +85°C. Cross-reference the part number with official Mini-Circuits documentation to confirm current production status and any potential product change notifications.

RF Mixers Selection Notes

Select this component when a wideband mixer is required for frequencies up to 15 GHz. The SIM-153LH+ is appropriate for applications demanding moderate conversion loss and standard linearity metrics. Consider the physical dimensions and surface-mount package type for PCB layout constraints. Evaluate the IF bandwidth requirements to ensure compatibility with the 0 Hz to 4 GHz specification. This model serves as a suitable solution for general-purpose RF mixing tasks in wireless communication systems.
