SM4B

RF Mixers Overview

The SM4B is a double-balanced RF mixer IC designed for ISM band applications. It operates with a Local Oscillator (LO) and Radio Frequency (RF) input range of 10 MHz to 1500 MHz. The Intermediate Frequency (IF) output spans from DC to 1000 MHz. This component utilizes a Schottky ring quad design, packaged in a compact 4-SMD module format. It supports a minimum operating temperature of -54°C and a maximum operating temperature of +100°C.
