SIM-U432H+

RF Mixers Overview

The SIM-U432H+ is a surface-mount double-balanced mixer manufactured by Mini-Circuits. It operates within an RF frequency range of 1.1 GHz to 3.9 GHz and supports a local oscillator (LO) frequency from 1.1 GHz to 4.25 GHz. The intermediate frequency (IF) range extends from 100 kHz to 800 MHz. Maximum conversion loss is specified at 9.8 dB. The device functions reliably across an operating temperature range of -40°C to +85°C. It utilizes silicon technology and is housed in an HV1195-8 package, suitable for SMD/SMT installation.
