The LO-MIX Series from Microwave Dynamics are Up/Down RF Converter modules that have an integrated low noise signal source (DRO), mixer, power amplifier, and LNA in one small compact package. They have an RF frequency from 2 to 45 GHz and an IF frequency from DC to 8 GHz. These converters provide an output power of 7 dBm and have a conversion gain of 5 dB. They require a DC supply from 8-12 V and consume current up to 400 mA.
The LO-MIX converters are designed to solve the matching issues between the LO, mixer, and amplifier and are internally matched to save time, space, and cost for end-users. They have low phase, offer low power consumption, and have an internal voltage regulator. These converters are available in four different models - free running LO, external reference PLO, internal reference PLO, and external 10 MHz reference PLO.
