DATA SHEET NOTES:
1. Mixer Conversion Loss Plot IF frequency is 100 MHz.
2. Mixer Noise Figure typically measures within +0.5 dB of conversion loss for IF frequencies greater than 5 MHz.
3. Conversion Loss typically degrades less than 0.5 dB for LO drives 2 dB below the lowest and 3 dB above highest nominal LO drive levels.
4. Conversion Loss typically degrades less than 0.5 dB at +100°C and improves less than 0.5 dB at -55°C.
5. Maximum input power is +26 dBm at +25°C, derated linearly to +23 dBm at +100°C.
6. Specifications are subject to change without notice. Contact Marki Microwave for the most recent specifications and data sheets.
7. Standard configuration for A, B, and C outlines are with connectors and bottom spacer.
8. Catalog mixer circuits are continually improved. Configuration control requires custom mixer model numbers and specifications.
