Qorvo QPX0001 6-26GHz I/Q Mixer

Qorvo QPX0001 6-26GHz I/Q Mixer is a compact, wideband I/Q GaAs mixer housed in a 3.9mm x 3.9mm air cavity surface mount ceramic package. Operating over the 6GHz to 26GHz bandwidth, the mixer can be configured as an image reject mixer, a single sideband upconverter, or a QPSK modulator/demodulator. The QPX0001 utilizes two double balanced mixer cells and a 90⁰ hybrid internal to the MMIC. An external 90⁰ IF hybrid is required to complete the image rejection or sideband suppression. The Qorvo QPX0001 is a much smaller alternative to higher-cost hybrid I/Q Mixers and single sideband upconverter assemblies.
